Here are some pictures I'd like to share from my summer. I've tried to include a little taste of the things that I do while on tour...
Trying to keep warm by the fire, me in the middle and clients on each side. The dry summers here in Oregon mean that it gets cool really fast once the sun goes down. This fire was amazing because we were on a cherry farm; the cherry logs lasted a long time and smelled wonderful.
I sneaked away to knit when I got time by myself. Here, I'm working on a hat that is not quite done yet.
I'm checking out a gigantic ornamental gourd. This gourd will be dried out and painted or something along those lines.
Sunflower admiration
Here I'm learning the hard truth about milling flower by hand. It's challenging, to be sure. This is triticale, a wheat rye hybrid, that was harvested, threshed and cleaned by Annie, the tour's intern for the summer. Unfortunately we didn't have time to bake it before she left, so I didn't get to taste the final product.
Here I'm hamming it up at the pre-tour guide training. Slav rented a cabin for us all at a state park.
Threshing wheat
Cross-eyed artichoke admiration
Here, I'm at Organically Grown Company, an organic produce distribution center, playing in the "gift shop."
Biking along
