Yesterday we attended the Oregon State Fair. We’re not into the rides, but enjoyed looking at the animals and crafts, and eating bad food. Didn’t have anything fried on a stick, but I did have a dubious “pizza cone” and curly fries, and we shared a sundae. Here are a bunch of pictures from the fair.

I haven’t posted a school photo in a while. Here’s one from 1985, when I was about 16. I’m the one with glasses in the back row, second from right (and my best friend at school, Donald, is on the left of that row). #ThrowbackThursday

I run our portable generator for a little while every three months, to keep it in working order. We’ve never used it during a power cut, but it’s nice to have, just in case.

On the homestead blog: beehive inspection, harvest, treatment, requeening, an epic three-hour (plus half hour the next day) session at the hives to collect lots of honey, inspect, treat, and replace a couple of aging queen bees.
