R.I.P George The Cat

So long to our great old cat George. She was 19 years old and died peacefully while E. was home with her today. We feel lucky to have had her for so long and that she passed while E. was holding and petting her.

window film

I have these 2 great windows on either side of the fireplace, but they don't offer much privacy so I've decided to put up windowm film. There's a great company in the UK that has some really modern designs.

Here are the windows now.

And here is the design I ordered. I'll post the "after" in a couple weeks.

2nd annual russian river camping

We had the best weekend camping on the Russian River. I feel so lucky to have such a great group of friends who are all so generous and fun. There was some amazing cooking, lots of chatting by the fire, bike rides, games, and beautiful walks.

The Composter

Now that we have Tate the Dog, our old composting system wasn't going to work. He loved to root around in it so we decided to get the enclosed drum style. Also takes care of the pesky raccoons that like to dig things up.
