The Destination: Roseburg, OR

We spent five lovely days near Roseburg, Oregon living a bit of the farm life.  

Farm dogs.

Barns and corrals and blackberries.

Chicken coops and a 4-bay. 

Old fruit trees that grow and produce without any intervention.  


Wildflowers and Queen Anne's Lace.

A pond in the middle of the blackberry brambles. 

A shed in need of work. 


A hundred year old farm house with wood floors.

A long driveway.

Poison oak.


A little boy looking very small in all that farm space. 

A tree swing.

Horses and watermelon and lots of love. 

Wild turkeys.

Horse back riding lessons.

And a saddle in the grass.

Ahhhh!  Farm life!  I love it! 
Even though I know my 5-days-of-visiting version is somewhat romanticized!

Is that the pup-blankie we gave li'l T??? If so, it warms my heart. If not, I still want to hug that no-longer-so-little bundle of cuteness! And, I don't think you romanticized your 5 day visit... those things were real- you have the photos to prove it! It's all in how you choose to preserve your best memories and how you ignore your ordinary (hungry, tired, grouchy) memories! Looks like a FABULOUS time!!! Love the farm life! l, kmc

Rainbow Layer Cake

We saw this Rainbow Checkerboard Cake video several months ago and Calvin was intrigued.  He ended up adding it to our Summer Fun Ideas List and this week we made it happen.  This was not quite a Pinterest Fail, but if you look at the video you will see how far from the original creation our cake actually was.    One cake mix was divided into pink and yellow.  One cake mix we made into blue and green.     Lots of boys.  Lots of help.  Lots of hand washing.    We cut the center out of each one and rearranged the colors.    And stacked them all together.  If we had waited until the cakes were completely cool, or even par-froze the layers they would have stacked more easily without cracking. I was running low on frosting and patience and endurace, so the end product left a lot to be desired. But, remember the boys up there?  They didn't care!  They oohed-and...

I am an inexperienced blogger. I write sporadically. I use a free blogging web-site.  I have not done a tutorial. I have not attended a blogger conference.  And I have had at least three reader's comments "lost" recently.  I am so sorry about that!! I do not know why this is happening.  I have double checked all my setting to allow comments. Even anonymous comments but the problem seems to persist.   Today I have made a small change so that the comments section will pop-up in a new window instead of at the bottom of my site.  Maybe this will help.   If you make a comment and it doesn't appear, please let me know.   Or just forgo all the blog-related-comment-mumbo-jumbo and email me directly!   I like hearing from you.
