preparation for the contractor who will be
removing lots of flammable Manzanita, I came across
this image inside an Oak tree branch....

Here I am safely viewing the Ring of Fire eclipse
To see a photo of the eclipse go here:
Occasionally the clouds would pass over the eclipse.
The most interesting thing was when it was over and
it became light again the birds flew out of the trees
and the cows got up and started wandering around the meadow.
I think they were a bit confused!

I looked in the wildflower book to I-D these teensy
flowers-but no luck there. Anyone know what these cuties are?

Remembering Where the Wild Things Are!
Maurice Sendak passed away a few days ago.
He was a wonderful writer and artist.
My children loved his stories as did I.
Maurice had a wickedly good way of telling a story
and he will live on in his books.

Kathe's Test Garden
I have planted a variety of herbs in the small planter boxes: lavenders,oregano,sages and rosemary.
The test is to see if indeed the deer will not eat them.
If they don't then I know I can safely
plant more in the flower beds.

I love cats.
Almost everyone we visited up in Portland
had at least one cat- one friend has four!
I adore this cat-her name is Fish.
