Biden Gets Swatted

In movie making parlance, those big 20'X20' silks hung from condor cranes are called Fly Swatters. Yesterday in Florida, Biden had 2 to keep him squint free and the sun gently diffused.

 Maybe 6:30 is too early for a walk

WL's Sauce

While I've been paddling, WL has been creating his fantastic tomato sauce. Tomatoes sourced from the farm stands of the Applegate Valley.

Guest Room Closet

We took down the single pole in the guest room closet and installed a more practical system. We had a guest who lamented the lack of a lingerie chest..... we are hoping these drawers will suffice.
 

Lost Creek Lake Redux

This past week we returned to the reservoir at Lost Creek Lake.  The water level was down about 30' and the flooded forest was on display as we put in at Catfish Cove. The Blue Herons were hanging out on the bare branches. It was our longest paddle at 3.5 hours.  We made it to where the Rogue River feeds into the lake. The last 1/3 of a mile was against a heavy Rogue current.  On our return, we spotted a bald eagle fishing. We were wiped out but a banana malt and chili cheese burger from Phil's Frosty helped to revive.

A yawning Banco recently joined Karen and I for a glass of rose at Woolridge Creek winery
 

End of Season

We got the whole gang together for a final party at Lake of the Woods. Dogs, spouses and neighbors showed up. Water is still crystal clear.  Was a warm day but Fall is coming fast this week.
