So my Masters diploma just arrived in the mail. I finally feel like I'm done!
In the past few weeks I've camped at Fort Stevens on the Oregon coast, been to Yellowstone, been camping in central Oregon, started my first batch of homemade wine, and planned a camping trip to Prineville.
I've gathered information about making planting boxes for next spring as I plan on having a garden next year. We're also going to do some serious work on the planting areas around the house and are looking at different methods and amendments to add.
Another new thing; I'm getting a new charcoal grill (courtesy of Intel and my 20 year gift) and am looking forward to trying out methods for real BBQ and smoking instead of just grilling. We're also interested in trying out some dutch oven cooking next summer. My thoughts are along the lines of BBQ/Smoked meat with some fresh vegetables and a nice dutch oven bread accompanied by a fresh homemade wine. :o) That will be a nice dinner!
More later, as I continue to explore my new school-free life.
