This morning I brought the swimming pool components over from their off-season home in the shop. I’ll assemble the pool tomorrow. #dejus365

Now that I’m home, it’s back to the usual pictures around the homestead. Here’s our pond, looking across to the duck house. I’ll add a ramp and let the ducks out soon! #dejus365

Home now. We picked up Rory from the pet resort on the way. She always pants so much in vehicles. 🐕

Possibly the best fries I’ve ever had, and a tasty burger. At the Parrott House in Roseburg, on the way home.


A GIF of the creek from Ashland Creek Inn.

Last breakfast at Ashland Creek Inn before heading home. Until next year!


The classic architecture of the Ashland Springs Hotel (where we haven’t yet stayed; one day we’ll try it), and the sun-dappled hills beyond Ashland. #dejus365


An enjoyable dinner at Hearsay for our last evening in Ashland (for this visit; we’ll be back!).




Sketching in Linea while sitting on our room’s deck, overlooking the rushing water of Ashland creek.

Excellent half BLT, truffle fries, and margarita at Louie’s on the Ashland creek. And ice cream dessert.
