First Snow!
We woke up to 5 1/2 inches of snow! THe kids spent most of the day going in and out and in and out, sledding and playing. They LOVED that Nicholas was home to sled with them. What a fun day!

4 years old!
This vibrant, rambunctious, irrepressible, loving little girl is 4 years old!
Fiona definitely livens up our life and you never know what she's going
to come up with next.

Wildfires, con't
Pray for rain! One of the local fires has grown to over six thousand acres. This is the view from our porch. We can barely breath.

Wildfires
Usually I can see all of downtown and mountains all the way from Tennessee from our back porch. This is all I could see 2 days ago ...
The smell of smoke is awful. There have been at least 13 forest fires raging in in the last 2 weeks. The range from 5 to several hundred acres. We are desperate for rain.
The smoke started clearing today and gives me a clear view of the forest fires. It also shows you how much was hidden the other day.
We've had 75 days with no rain. We live in a temperate rain forest for goodness sake! Rain every single day is normal. There are fire crews from all around the country here right now. The entire town is pitching in to help them.
We just need rain!

The Wasilik Poplar
This past weekend we enjoyed a hike to the Wasilik Poplar - the 2nd largest tree on the east coast!
It's dying so I'm glad we went. It's almost completely hollow.

Everyone inside the tree!

County Fair 2016
We love our county fair. It's an old school agriculture fair with no rides - yes, you heard me right. But so much fun!
Our homeschool co-op's educational booth got first place! The kids were very excited.
The theme was "Celebrate and Educate". The silhouettes of moms are celebrating in the back and the children's pictures are are attached to fall vegetables as our "harvest". My little bowl of potatoes. :)
And as tradition demands we went to Dairy Queen after the fair!
