Corn Maze & pumpkin picking...

It has been a couple of weeks since our outing; but, here are some photos of us at Davis Family Farm in Corvallis. We went out with a few friends and the kids played on the hay pyramid; we went through the corn maze (and got lost); and then sojourned out to the pumpkin patch to select just the right pumpkins.

Women's retreat

I spent last weekend with women from our church at our annual Women's Retreat. It was a great time of worship, fellowship, prayer and Bible study. We stay at Aldersgate Conference Center in Turner, Oregon. This is a picture from inside the 'Fireside' Room where we held our meetings. A good time was had by all.

Crochet projects

I've been busy making things. This is my triangle fringed prayer shawl. It was fun to make and it's cozy.

Camping

We decided to brave the weather and take a little camping trip last week. There were two days of good weather stuck in between not-so-good days. We went to Cascadia State Park just outside of Sweet Home. It was beautiful; really cold at night; but, well worth the trip. The girls played in the river and caught a crawdad, tiny fish and a baby Garter snake.
This is my husband trying to warm up by the early morning fire. Doesn't he look like a camper-dude?


We were visited by a Spotted Owl who kept eyeing our dog until Mocha got up and the owl saw he was too big to carry off. He sat in a tree not 5 feet from us next to the picnic table. It was really neat.

It didn't rain on us this time!!!
