Inside the canvas camping tent at 5:00 am this morning. Couldn’t really capture the peaceful sound of the waterfall just outside or the silhouette of the reeds on the tent wall in the early morning light. Pure bliss.
And yes, it’s a bit cold...but that’s what a good, warm sleeping bag is for! 😂
Proud of the 5 and 8 year old grand girls for going the distance!
Grandpa predicted we’d be inside in an hour!🤣

Our thermostat today in Polk County, Oregon. We are so thankful that the winds have lessened so that the firefighters have a better chance at controlling the wildfires that are in so much of Oregon.
For us in the Willamette Valley, surrounded by farmlands instead of forests it means another day of staying inside due to smoke, ash & hazardous air quality.
I pop out to feed the chickens while wearing a mask but that’s about it.
So saddened by the tragic losses of so many.

Working out under the ramada near the Fairy Garden & moved a tarp. Mr. Garth, the resident Garter Snake,has some new friends.
All the grand girls love them!
And I love them because they eat slugs!❤️

We are still working on getting the chicken coop absolutely predator-proof after raccoons killed our flock last fall. 🐔
These young hens are still sleeping in a stock tank in our living room at night. 😂 We’re getting tired of carrying them out each morning but since they’ll do anything for tasty freeze dried mealworms I’m sure they’ll catch on to the drill quickly. They already know where “home” is outside & are just starting to figure out the “roosting” thing. 🐔
Always fascinating to watch chicken behavior. 😂

Let me introduce you “THE PLANTYFLUTESIZER”.
.
.
Still in progress, I can’t really tell how many hours, days and months I've spent working on this. The entire structure is a combination of different instruments but the main one is a sort of sequencer with 8 notes limit that can be combinated on different patterns. An electric impulse actives a motor with an arm connected that hits a sensor running a pre-recorded note.
There’s a lot to speak about this but on this particular post the real rockstars are my little partners: Pico and Verdi.
This two little fellas have been with me from a while, making me laught and giving me incredible presents every single day. It’s incredible how these little creatures can emit such an intense light. If you have pets you know what I mean. They are family, pure unconditional love, no matter what, specially these weird days of quarantine is needed more than ever.
