Good day everybody. Happy Thursday ☺️ It's just a bit past 6am in Myrtle Creek. Cool here today. At 9am I'll head out to the workshop to continue work on my most recent build. I'm to the bevelled base part of the build. As always, photos at the end of day, so do follow. Enjoy your day, people. 🥰

The porch light illuminates my front deck just enough so that Amy & Flo can see the rain. It was a hot and dry summer. They haven't really seen very much rain in their whole lives. I'll leave the front door open for a bit longer so they can enjoy the sound and smell of it.

Anyone who thinks they have strong boundaries should try to go to the bathroom without their cat. I tried to lock my cat out but after her constant clawing and meowing, I gave up and opened the door. Made me laugh cause I feel like I have strong boundaries with humans but with cats I give in.

Hello from Myrtle Creek, where the hills wake slow and the morning carries that soft Southern Oregon calm. Cats stretch, coffee warms the hands, and the workshop waits with its familiar scent of sawdust and promise. I'll spend the day in my workshop as I head into a day of making.

A Myrtle Creek night never goes as planned. I crashed at 10:30, windows wide to let the house cool down before Friday’s 100° encore. Deep asleep… then WHUMP. A surprise landing on my stomach courtesy of Flo. It’s 1:30ish. I’m awake. She’s pleased. Thanks, Flo. 🤨

The temperature will be noticeably higher today, winds will shift. Pushing the smoke from the east Oregon wildfires into the valleys. Warnings for smoke, heat and fire danger in western Oregon. Trump denied requests for firefighter & disaster aid, saying it's our fault for letting the forests grow.

Just back from a walk around my neighbourhood. Another cloudless day with the temperature in the low eighties. Just as I took this photograph, a car was driving past and honked. I must have appeared a proper git. Beautiful bay, but I still wish it would rain!
