Catching up.

It's been a while since I've posted anything. Here, at least, are a few pictures.

 

We did some hikes at Flaming Geyser State Park, 

Old Sauk Trail, 

and the Boulder River Trail. 

I've hung out with some magnificent scoundrels (Art Block and Ted Rutherford), 

some vicious beasts (Kepler, Tycho, and Xena), 

and other cosmopolitan characters.

I've watched a feral-rescue kitty turn into a rotundo-mundo, 

the grape vines I planted three years ago start to produce, 

and a dragonfly that "looks like a cheetah" according to Karl. 

Of course, I went to the Oregon Country Fair,

immersed myself in the counter-culture (such as it is these days), 

donned my hippie gear, 

enjoyed the silliness 

and the art,

and the random gifts from friends. 

We camped with this crew, 

and I worked with this one. 

The real world let itself be know almost immediately after the Fair ended, but it was only a minor inconvenience. 

Upon returning home I explored the wilds of our basement. Good thing I brought the Minecraft torch.

Karl had his 12th birthday, and his parents are officially starting to embarrass him.

That's it for now. May all your sunsets be beautiful and speckled with dragonflies.
