My Crater Lake Vacation
A couple of weeks ago the Wyrd family escaped into the wilderness of central and eastern Oregon. We packed up the cooler, a few bags, tossed the kid into the back seat with several pillows and a blankey and headed for the hills.
We stopped occasionally to behold the pretty water.
And to fight over the camera.
And to soak our feet and drink cold stuff out of the cooler. I forgot just how cold and clear and lovely looking the water is in this part of Oregon. It makes a person just want to jump in and drink it all up.

More Stink Festival and Other Blatherings.
While helping with (crashing) my parent's garage sale a few weekends ago, I managed to take a few pictures as I wandered around in the yard (pretended to help).
I think dahlias love the cool and misty coastal belt. I live just a couple of miles inland and my dahlias were way behind theirs. I think the heat has made them cranky.
We took our Labor Day vacation trek early this year. We left early Thursday and drove around mid/eastern oregon until late Friday. I didn't see any huge Dahlia bushes during our travels.
If you grow these babies, remember, they need LOTS of room. You can grow them in pots even, but they have to be exceedingly huge pots, like the ones that are over 20 gallons. I know this from my years of experience abusing plants.
