Summer ends....


After a summer of mostly doing no house improvements....with maybe some yard work, which hardly made a dent...I'm ready and rested for the next round of projects. Of course, the yard needs cleaning up before it goes to sleep for the winter, and while I can still see what's going on before the maple drops its blanket over everything.

Iwa' did dye experiments this summer with treasures from the yard including salal and blackberry. Our favorite was the captured silken sunshine of the goldenrod.

Derek brought in two harvests of plums, sweets and Italians, and April made plum sauce enough to supply us and Yelapa for a year! Plus, we have frozen plums, fresh plums and dried plums.
Oh, and the tomatoes are out of control! Hello salsa...
