Fire danger high … tractor dies & is resuscitated

Bianca loves the look of the partially mowed field. Miss Tym died in the middle of the field mowing, but Sid revived her a day later … a malfunctioning tail light caused the shut down!

Some of the wildflowers (purple) we planted along the broken-glass road are blooming! Rose checker mallow (Sidalcea virgata)

And along the Rock Creek trail, tiny purple flowers (great hedge-nettle)

Keeping our forest trails/roads free and clear is essential during fire season.

I don’t understand how this big Scotch broom plant escaped earlier detection.

Griffith Creek is low.

The riparian Western red-cedars planted by the Marys River Watershed Council are thriving.

Woodcutter Mike has left evidence of his having passed this way.

Crossing Rock Creek feels great on tired feet.

Uh oh…a new obstruction across the Loop trail

No need for the chain saw when you have Bill’s muscles!

The internet/telephone cable folks are placing the cable to the mobile.

The new cable starts at the entrance and heads off to the right. You can see the trench if you look closely.

There weren’t many plums on this tree, but they were tasty.
