But then you'd have to get used to the sound of screeching brakes as people come to a quick stop to stare! <BR/><BR/>We did buy a bottle of wine, but only one. I'm a die-hard beer drinker! And I can't say enough about the attractions of Oregon. It's a great vacation spot! <BR/><BR/>No, my neighbor doesn't rake his leaves that are in my yard, but he's oh-so-helpful in many other ways.

Was the wine any good? How many bottles did you bring home? What a great smell that lavender would have. <BR/>Never seen a Steller's jay. Very pretty!! What great waterfalls! Looks picture perfect. I would love to get to the west coast one of these years.<BR/>Glad you made it home safe and sound and does that neighbor come over and help rake leaves?

Though it was fun to watch people like you! <BR/><BR/>Connie, it takes a vacation to make you appreciate home, doesn't it? Especially since I usually clean up the house before I go, it's a pleasant surprise to walk back in! <BR/><BR/>Elizabeth, I'm a poser when it comes to wine-tasting. I'd be better off tasting beer!<BR/><BR/>Cottage Magpie, really? How cool!

Oh, those leaves are really falling now! <BR/><BR/>Catherine, it was so cool to see those mushrooms, and of all the walks we took in the woods, those were the only ones we saw. No fairies in evidence, though I'm sure they must have been around! <BR/><BR/>Dianne, you have a really good reason to see Oregon, not that you need one! It's just a great place to go. <BR/><BR/>Pam, you're so right about that tree because I do enjoy looking at it. They don't have a window on that side of their house to view it from. Oh,and my hair looks like that when I wake up in the morning, too! <BR/><BR/>Bev, thanks! I've been wanting to see the Gorge for a long time and I'm glad we finally got to do it.

We were in the car at a stoplight and I told the Dubious Gardener to just hold up traffic while I got the photo. Luckily I was quick! I highly recommend Oregon for a vacation destination, there's great stuff to see all over the state! <BR/><BR/>Yolanda, that dinosaur would look great in your garden along with all your other gorgeous stuff! I think you'd better get on that. Glad you liked my post, I do think vacation photos are funny, especially when the true story comes out! <BR/><BR/>Hi Andee, thanks for your nice note! I was so tickled to read about you and the piece of paradise you live in. But I also knew you would be worried about the publicity; I hope it brings only good things to the village.<BR/><BR/>Rusty, thanks! I think you probably need a vacation after you get your garden back in order, but that's quite a way from Miami. I know you'd love it! <BR/><BR/>Jodi, he's dubious about a lot of things other than gardening too! But he does make me laugh and is a good traveling companion. Thanks for the welcome home. <BR/><BR/>Mary C., if I'd known that sandrail was like an amusement park ride, I would never have agreed to it!

It's been appearing in newspaper all over the country since last spring. <BR/>The writer, Chris and a couple photographers were here for about a week, so it was kind of fun.I was the tour guide for alot of their visit.<BR/><BR/>My perference would be that Chacala got no publicity, but since the reporters arrrived unannounced I figured, "keep your friends close, and your (potential) enemies closer". <BR/><BR/>Chris was fine, but an article in the Washington Times, by Tom Carter, was a much better article. He really understood about the rich history of volunteerism in Chacala. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, great photos.Looks like a fun tripl.<BR/>AndeeAndeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13413966510659683865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30223448.post-67072075741879621322007-10-08T07:12:00.000-06:002007-10-08T07:12:00.000-06:00Welcome back LostRoses.
