What to do on a rainy Sunday?

Build a 8'x2' raised bed garden! Why not right? That’s what we decided to do yesterday. 

Nothing major, but a fun little Sunday project. Here are some pics from the day.






Bend or bust...

Last week we took advantage of a couple of vacation days and headed about 3 hours southeast of Portland to Bend. Bend is a really cool high desert town on the eastern cascades right at the base of Mt Bachelor and a number of other peaks. The great thing about Bend in the winter is that you can mountain bike on dry trails east of town or head west into the mountains and play in the snow. There aren’t a whole lot of places that you can mountain bike, climb and or ski in the same day.
We took 3 pups with us – Maddie, Seppie and Cody – packed the camper on the truck and took off. The first two days were full of mountain biking. Another great thing about the area is that it is mostly surrounded by national forest or BLM land. We were able to find great places to camp both nights pretty far off the beaten path.
Enjoy the pics. There is also one video below… though we have not edited it at all but it is just a fun clip of what mountain biking with the dogs is like.

We capped it all off with a cupcake from Ida's Cupcakes

Here's the video. Not the best but...

Hope you enjoyed.

Peace,
All of us!
