Oregon Redwoods - They didn't get 'em all!
But they did get this one. Seeking the sun we drove east of Brookings about 7 miles along the Chetco River to The Oregon Redwoods State Park. Beautiful day. Beautiful trees.
Brookings Boondoggle
Two and a half hours from Ashland - the coast! It's blazing hot in Ashland, so we came over to Brookings for some cooler weather and a change of scene. It's in the 100's in Ashland; it's in the low 60's here. So, with warm clothes and hiking poles, we set out on a 7 miler along the beautiful Boardman Corridor with its gorgeous hiking trails and views. What a state!
Solitary Celebrations
I feel so fortunate to have a partner to share life's ups and downs. For the 4th of July, Ron BBQ'ed chicken and made delicious coleslaw/potato salad which we enjoyed alfresco. My 75th birthday was another quiet affair. But, with phone calls, video chats, cards and a very special gift from my niece, it was a wonderful day.
