Here’s a close up of what a mussel looks like in case you haven’t had the pleasure of eating one. I’m kind of amazed that I ate two of these, but after eating bull’s testicles, I figured I could handle …
Ok, they aren’t really marshmellows, it’s the way they wrap hay. They also make some really huge hay sausages around here, I’ll try to remember to take a picture of one of those next time I see one out in …
Shooting for The Majestic in Ferndale finished up at 3:00 this morning. At 9:00 this morning I was walking down Main Street by myself. It seemed really weird but I’m going to like having our quiet town back. By 9:30 …
Yesterday was a gorgeous spring day, first really sunny day this month. So we opened up all the windows and aired out the house. The cats all appreciated having the windows open and there was much competition to get the …
Lupines are out in force right now and they are one of my favorite wildflowers. This particular bunch was on Williams Creek Rd., before you get to the suspected pot growers.
Here’s the end of Williams Creek Rd., which is what Rose Ave turns into on the other side Grizzly Bluff. I took this sign to mean that I was riding on an unimproved county road. A couple of residents at …
Dad and Derek chase squirrels. Lori and I have a particular robin on our hit list. We’re not sure if it is always the same robin, but if all robins were this stupid, they wouldn’t exist anymore. First we had …
When we start looking at alternative energy sources here in Ferndale, we may lean towards wind power rather than solar. Sometimes the house moves similar to a small earthquake during really violent wind gusts. Such as we had yesterday. So …
When you’re a cat and you get to be 16 years old, your day consists primarily of various modes of inactivity. Freddie spends most of his day sleeping on the back of the futon, but there’s a period during the …
Today’s picture is the Town Hall in its completed state. If you need a reminder of how it started, here’s the picture of the US Bank building in early February. The last detail was the “bronze” statue of the veteran …
Tonight Lori and I went to the premier of the latest play at the Ferndale Rep. James Whitmore was there so we got to meet him after the play at the champagne (or in my case Martinelli’s) reception. Mr. Whitmore …
I know I promised cows all week, but our ratings were crashing. It appears that cows aren’t as popular as some family members led us to believe. Besides we had this wonderful opportunity to see the Majestic all lit up. …
Just to make Derek happy, we will be featuring cows all week. This couple was taken up on Bear River Road, on my Sunday ride. We also found out where Jim Carrey is staying in town, and it’s only three …
This morning it cleared up a little so I decided to go explore Bear River Road, which runs on the ridge of the hills that our house overlooks. I was surprised to find out that it had snowed up there …
Today’s picture shows the interior of Mabel’s Diner. Not only is it an exterior set, but they also use it to shoot scenes in, although it’s hard to picture how they get all the crew and equipment in there and …
Last night I couldn’t sleep and so I decided to get back up and I was surpised to see it was so light out side. Full moon out so I grabbed my cameras and went into town to take pictures …
Fred’s getting pretty mellow in his old age. He’s finally figured out that people aren’t that scary and our last few visitors have been able to pet and play with him. He also seems to play with the boys more, …
Here I am mowing the lawn again. If the garden grows anything like this lawn, we’ll have some amazing vegetables. Since it’s been raining quite a bit every few days it’s been hard to mow the lawn when it’s dry, …
Yesterday we photographed some of Lori’s vintage clothes on a model. Her name is Sheila and I found her working in the career department at the junior college while I was trying to find out how to go about posting …
