Highlights of 2014

Tulips, Perriwinkle & Lilac
Once again spring arrived at LaHontan Drive.
April Trip to visit our son in Oregon
The good ol' Taurus is old enough to vote but still loves a good road trip.

Orcas Island Revisited We enjoyed it so much last year that we went back again. Last car on the last ferry of the day. Pizza in Eastsound. Life is really good sometimes. View from Turtleback Mountain. Only Problem is you gotta walk to get up there. Sigh. Sunset from the cottage Mountain Lake in Moran State Park Shirley pauses from a hike up Mt. Constitution for a little tree hugging.

Kennally Creek Campground in June An old favorite place in the Salmon River Mountains Wildflowers and rocks grow everywhere... ...and everythng is very close to the sky.

Grandsons Luke, Kurt, Porter & Hudson It's pretty cool to watch the grandkids grow and do stuff but, oh, the exertion... I think I need a nap now.

Raising the Antenna Tower Let's see... tab A into slot B, secure with that little tiny screw that got lost in the grass yesterday, and then... up on the roof, mighty pull, huff, puff, and... Voila! On the air. -.-. --.- .-- --- .-. .-.. -.. -.. . -.- .-.. --... .. --. -...

Juniper Wars It's amazing how much junipers can grow in just thirty-five short years. Load number five of five. All gone. Whew!

Snow, a whole bunch of it! Crikeys!
It's only November 19 and there are still leaves on the trees for cryin' out loud.
