Laura East

Laura East came out at the end of each performance this weekend wearing this red flapper dress to take her well deserved bows. Great show Laura! Lots of hard work went into the show by the cast and crew, and …

Moon to Sun Fernbridge shot

Moon to Sun Fernbridge

A shot that I’ve wanted to get for a long time was a panoramic of the sun setting in the west at Fernbridge and the moon rising in the east over the Eel River. I’ve tried it a couple of …

Ella Cast

Ella Cast Shot

In addition to shooting a second dress rehearsal, today we also shot the group shot of the cast. Laura always does an amazing job of getting all the girls lined up for this. Usually with this large of group I …

The annual Ferndale Dance Academy recital this year is Ella, the classic story of Cinderella, set in the Roaring ’20s. Today I shot the first of two dress rehearsals. The show starts Thursday, and Laura has sold out 3 shows …

Working on my room at home, trying to get it ready in time for moving the office back home. Here’s the ceiling medallion that will be going in that room. I took this picture so I can experiment with the …

Warning

Knowlesville Posted on June 24, 2007 by MattJune 7, 2019
Cats and earthquakes

There is speculation that pets can provide warning about earthquakes. Not true. If that were the case, Lori, would have been able to go change into some clothes that would have provided more protection. As it was she was wearing …

I should have warned him

Knowlesville Posted on June 23, 2007 by MattJune 7, 2019
Not a dual purpose bike

Went for a ride today with some other KLR650 riders and a few other bikes. We met up at the store in Hydesville and I was surprised to find out that two of the bikes were a full dress Harley …

Restoring the Greenhouse

Knowlesville Posted on June 19, 2007 by MattJune 7, 2019
Greenhouse

Yes, it’s only a year old so it shouldn’t need restoration, but this winter’s big wind storm took its toll so my other big weekend project was to anchor it down to the concrete so the wind wouldn’t blow the …

Back to Painting (or painting the back)

Knowlesville Posted on June 18, 2007 by MattJune 7, 2019
Back of Garage

I mentioned the lengthy paint job on the church earlier this month, well I’ve had an ongoing paint project myself. There isn’t really a painting season in Ferndale, you grab days here and there when it is sunny enough, dry …

South Fork Mountain Sunset

Knowlesville Posted on June 17, 2007 by MattJune 7, 2019
Route 1 Sunset

I went for a ride on the KLR650 up to Route 1 in the South Fork Mountains to go see my favorite wildflower show. Unfortunately I was probably a week too late and missed most of it. I had been …

Bucket of Bulbs

Knowlesville Posted on June 16, 2007 by MattJune 7, 2019
Daffodil bulbs

Well, actually it’s not a bucket, it’s an old kitty litter box, but that just didn’t have the alliteration that I was looking for. When we dug up that rocky soil in the backyard to plant the rhododendron, we also …

Expensive Mouse Trap

Knowlesville Posted on June 14, 2007 by MattJune 7, 2019
Dead mouse parts

Our refrigerator had been running warm lately but it was sporadic so we put off calling the repairman. I was trying to figure out a pattern why sometimes it would be warm and sometimes it would run fine so I …

Lori’s Lavender

Knowlesville Posted on June 13, 2007 by MattJune 10, 2019
Lavendar

Lori had about as much luck growing lavender in this garden as I had growing hollyhocks and lupines in San Jose. Too wet the first few tries, which seems odd, because it’s English lavender, and England isn’t known for its …

Give me your lupines

Knowlesville Posted on June 12, 2007 by MattMarch 19, 2020
Lupine seedling

Another plant I had tried several times in San Jose with no luck was lupines. So as I did with the hollyhocks I decided to try them from seed and raise a bunch at the same time. They just got …

Planting Weeds

Knowlesville Posted on June 11, 2007 by MattJune 7, 2019
Hollyhock seedlings

Ever since I started my garden in San Jose, I’ve wanted hollyhocks. Problem is they look just like common weeds when they’re little and I usually loose track of them and end up pulling them. So this time I started …

Over on the good side

Knowlesville Posted on June 10, 2007 by MattJune 7, 2019
Catholic Church

Just to be fair though, the side that is almost done looks very nice. I really like the multi-colored paint job better than the previous yellow coat it had.

Catholic Church

Back in October I posted a photo of the Catholic Church being painted. Well, it’s still being painted. They are back to making progress after the delay of winter. On some areas that they did complete last year it seems …

Love Me Tender (not)

Tender 6 retired

Tender 6 started life as a milk truck, picking up raw milk at the dairies and taking it to be processed. After it had served many years and miles in that duty, it was modified to become a fire tender. …

Two More

Knowlesville Posted on June 6, 2007 by MattJune 7, 2019
Rhododendrons

These are the two rhodies that we originally intended to plant. Amazing how hard it is to go to a nursery and only buy the plants you intended to. We planned to buy these two, and came away with double …

There are two things that are almost required for living in Ferndale. First, you should have a dog in your pickup truck. Second, you should have a least one rhododendron planted in your front yard. Since it will be awhile …
