Oregon City, Oregon Week 45 - November 8 - 14, 2021

Some good news to report....for this season, I have finished cutting and burning in the woods.  I cut down the last filbert bush/tree and burned it with glee--

And here is the last burn pile of the season

There still are filberts and some holly left on our property, but they are over the "edge" that goes down to the Big Creek.  Realistically, the ground is to wet and soft and moist  to safely and easily reach ad clean up the area,  Besides I will need stuff to do in 2022

There was no school for two days, and we had Bev's kids come over for two days while she worked at the Acres House.  The kids were so good.  both days the girls turned our bedroom into the beach with water and sand and wind and bunnies swimming in the surf using water wings.

Saturday was a football game in Corvallis - OSU against Stanford.  I had wanted, for a long time, to make Warren a beaver tail to latch on to the rear of his car when he closed the back  I finally had an idea to use some of the foam mats we used in Greenhouse #8.

And installed on to the car

i thought that some cars on the freeway, on the wat to Corvallis, would honk and wave at us, but no one did.

We took Abby and Clara and left Copeland with Jessica.  We a lunch at American Pizza which is yummy but very busy.

It was a fun game!  OSU won 35 to 7.  Not a lot of fouls - lots of exciting moments.  The weather was perfect.

We had a nice Sunday dinner.  Katy Kuntz and her husband, Beck, and daughter Ella came.  Lots of noise and conversation.

And...we celebrated Travis' birthday  he is 41.  Warren made the cake - what's new?  It was the best German Chocolate Cake I have ever experienced!

Next week my goal is to finish hooking up the barn's downspouts to 3" pipes that drain into the woods.  I also to need to level out the ground and properly slope the area.  I will do it the tried and true Egyptian way...with a shovel.
