Hot August days...60º

We had some relaxing days before Rusty arrived for a few days, on his way to Idaho and a visit with friends...I had renewed the "honey do" list...Of course his agenda also includes working with John...Yesterday we were outside early, he and Herb pulling garlic and hanging it to dry for a few weeks...The biggest cabbage was cut and grated/sliced to start more jars of kraut...The temp was close to 90º but we relaxed on the deck, in the shade of the aspens...Dinner was creamed potatoes and peas, alongside salmon on the grill...I have appointments today, Herb will be chasing water in flowerbeds and lawn, Rusty will be helping John...We will get together for dinner and Rusty will leave early Wed morning.

Last Saturday, we had visitors...Rusty's friends Randy and Justin, on a 14 day motorcycle trip, stopped for the night and camped in our backyard...We enjoyed visiting with them about their jobs and travels...Randy is a pilot and flight instructor, out of Bend and Justin is an aircraft mechanic, with  a home in Boise, Idaho and stationed in the Philippines...It was fun getting to know about their jobs and travels.

I should be in the kitchen making a huckleberry pie, so will include some photos and get up and moving before leaving the house until late afternoon...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
