New Stove

Over the past years, we burnt up our stove without a proper propane conversion kit.  Lydia is grateful for a new range for her wonderful baking.  Marshal and I spent an afternoon converting it from natural gas together.  

 

Glimpse of the best move of the summer!

Grandpa's collections came with him to a new home!

Grandpa's friend built him a new house in 2 months with back to back crews that worked like one seamless machine.  Thank you our Heavenly Father, giver of all good gifts, Who provided a window of time between the shut downs and material inflationary costs to give our loving parents a home in our community!

 

Summer Garden

Wintered over my geraniums!

Gardens were wild, growing wildy, and mostly whitely.

Creator's garden.  His designs are always splendid.  Spray of white yarrow, mullein, daisies.

Garden without a caretaker.

Shade garden lushness.

Father's Day Sunday 2020

Here is a last celebration with Grandma and Grandpa in their Eastern Oregon home before they moved to be close to us!!  Dads got to stick together.



Grandpa set the bar for big pants to fill in being a good dad.

 

Foraging Plate


A good friend took me out to the forest with her to forage mid-June.  A rare treat.

Sautéing shared Boletes.

Fresh trout, garden greens, and boletes.

 

Vestiges of June

The last of Spring Flower Co-op.  Marshal was able to bring me home flowers every two weeks from my birthday, through our 20th anniversary, and until summer.
