<\/a><\/p>\nAugust was a surprisingly big mushroom month. See what we saw at Mushrooms and More<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n She’s always there when you need a pick me up or a glass of home made limoncello. Never mind the Medusa on the postcard we mailed ourselves from Florence who looks aghast every time you open the door.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Idling away the days with our most favorite house guests ever – Graydon and Glenn. Harvesting the bounty of spring plantings with bowls of leeks and peppers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bob uses his 1987 Mercedes touring wagon like a contractor’s truck. He and Malcolm designed and built a band shell cover to protect musical equipment in the event of rain.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We’d been planning for the 2014 Collective Biodiesel Conference for months and finally the day arrived when we would see a parking lot full of cars running on veggie oil. Blanche companionably chews the fat with her sister wagon.<\/p>\n And motorcycles too, such as Wole’s nice ride.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The setting sun lights up a beautiful aluminum sculpture of reeds in a fecund pond and a couple of hours later, the viewing stand over the campground was also aglo.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thank you Graydon for sharing your photo with us. Nearly everyone associated with the conference made their way into this photo.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0 It was almost like Christmas for Spot with so many new friends to meet. Graydon flashes his winning smile and Glenn puts up his equine friendly ears.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jonathan is the first to think of feeding a treat to our yard art and as you can see, Spot is rolling his eyes with pleasure. And Brian is the first to give Spot a slap to see if he’ll run off.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dara and his darling dog Shkye.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n New neighbor Buffy channels a celestial force.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A somber event turned joyful when our amazing family got together to pay tribute to Jeanette’s life.
