Below are a few snapshots from the past couple weeks. We have been alternating between yard work, and goofing off, for the most part.
The river looking pretty. I have a camera set up at the left end of that big log and have captured bobcats and raccoons crossing it at night.
The cam also captured this Bald Eagle.
We took our canoe out on Beaver Creek for our first paddle of the year. What we previously thought were beavers turn out to be mostly nutria, giant rodents from South America.
Yummy follows us around the yard, and enjoys climbing up things, hoping to be "rescued".
She enjoys a warm fire as much as we do.
We met the llama, alpaca, peacock lady down the road, and chatted with her for over an hour.
We bicycled into town on Sunday the 30th, passing this elk herd at mile 5.
Our other favorite herd is the Belted Galloway cattle from Scotland at mile 3.
Last Monday, we climbed Mary's Peak, the highest peak of the Pacific Range in Oregon. We started at 1,800 feet and reached the peak at 4,097 feet. The flowers at the top were in their glory.
This weird plant is Bear Grass.
Fungus never sleep in the forest.
On the drive home, we took a side road to see this covered bridge.
Well, those were some of the recent highlights for us on the Oregon Coast.

Hi, it's Andria. Those wildflowers are stunning, and the bear grass is indeed very weird. Love the pictures of Yummy D. She has an ideal life! And there is nothing like a lap-warming cat!
