Family visit part 2

 What a wonderful visit -done and gone in a blink of an eye. We'll miss you Anne, Jean, and Justine. Happy trails back to Seattle.






A grand hike behind our lovely neighbor's property. Access to public lands. So pristine and quiet. Lots of wildlife lives here (bear, moose, elk, deer) but our only sighting was a coyote. Something anyway. An amazingly close view of the Castles.



One spectacular meal at Soupcon. 5 course with wine pairing extravaganza. A perfect event for the last night of their visit. This memory will last a long time!





Haying season has been full on for weeks now. It's a major late summer event with the ranchers here. Some they keep for winter feed and some they sell, mostly to Kentucky racehorse farms. Our valley is renowned for excellent quality of hay. Something about the river water or the soil or the organic manure fertilizer - who knows.


Yep, the cows are still around for another 6 weeks. They've done a bang up job at eating all the Star Mt. grass down. I won't lie, it will be nice when the manure is gone, but wow, the summer has gone by in a flash.
