Summer Daze

Well summer is full swing now as we all know. Next week I will post the pics of the Tropical plants going off in my yard. I have some great friends from Maui visiting and got some shots last night here in S.C. Patti and I have been friends since 1970. Her son Kapena and Patti are here for a family wedding.

More Oregon...

I almost forgot to add these pics of the Tollgate area about 1 hour from Milton-Freewater. This is a awesome area for summer camping and hiking, and winter snow trips. No good ski area here but those mountains you see in the background has some....

July 4th Trip

Just got back from a great trip to Oregon/Washinton to visit my wonderful kind friends. The pics that I posted go in backwards order so you have to go from bottom up. But anyway the farm is now in the transition stage as the greenhouses are mostly empty getting ready for the cuttings of the next crops. The weather was great with warm nice days and just right cool nights.
Steve and Donna were very kind to show me around and look at Real Estate in the surrounding areas. July 4th here means alot of fireworks and firearms. Everybody has fun. We went to downtown Walla-Walla and walked around but everybody was going to the park for the July 4th event so it was time for us to go back to the farm for some fun or our own. We went to Harris Park which is just a short 15 minute drive from downtown Milton-Freewater on July 5th and enjoyed a nice hike. Fantastic beautiful area. It is hard not to fall in love with this part of the country...
