Swan Island

 Went for a short ride Saturday to the north side of Canby.  Swan Island Dahlias.  A farm that had acres upon acres of ...you guessed it, Dahlias.   Lots of colors.  Lots of shapes. Lots of sizes.  Dahlias can be 10 inches across and can be 2-3 inches across.  They can be huge blossoms that resemble an explosion, or small flat petaled blossoms.  It's a great place to visit.  They are open 6 days a week (except Wed) through Sept.   It's definitely worth a trip.

Hounds on Wednesday

 The number of greyhounds at Hounds Rest is down to 11.  Eight males and three females.  Better but I wish it was smaller.  Anyway it did give the other volunteer and I time to walk one dog.  She chose Red a pretty female and I chose Watkins, a brindle male.   I wish we could have done all of them.

Watkins was intrigued with all the smells.

Red loved being outside in the sun

Cheerios

 

Saw these at Winco yesterday.   Does this sounds inviting?

Harvest

Our gardening for this year  consists of one tomato plant.  Not exactly like being a farmer, but the results are good.  I picked these this morning.  Like eating candy.

Potting Bench

While we were in a antique shop in Canby several weeks ago I found a project.  I had been thinking of a potting bench for quite some time but had not found one I liked.  The "Red Door" shop had it but it went fast.  
This is what was in the store.

This is what I came up with.  I used wood that I gathered from local building sites and the scrap pile at the local building supply store.  2x4 s and used pallets were the source of the building materials.

Comfort Food

 I am back.  Darn old Verizon and their data limits.  It seems that we cannot seem to have enough to last our month.  So we went a week in minimum mode (or whatever they call it.)  So I needed some comfort food.  How about some Macaroni and cheese and fish sticks?  Yeah, that will do it.!

A troublesome saying

I heard this said in a movie this week.  When I heard it, I played it back several times to get it right  It made me think of what's going on in the world right now.

When Love is gone, there's always Justice.

When Justice is gone, there's always Force.

TMK

Saturday we went for a ride and along the way stopped at TMK Creamery, a small family owned dairy.  They have a retail store that's open Thursday - Saturday.  Cheese and Ice Cream are their products but they have one more.  They recently added something that you do not expect from a diary, vodka.  Yes, you read it right.  They are now making vodka from milk whey.  Hmm...
I know that the ice cream was good!
   Here are a few photos.

Life Sign

Flower Power

Walking along a fence in the neighborhood, I came upon these peeking through the boards.

 Talk about determination.
