What a Fun Afternoon!

My friend Tracey lives up on Bull Mountain - about a half hour drive from my house. She and her husband bought a house there a couple of years ago, and it came with a Christmas Tree Farm! She invited a few of her friends up to tag a tree before they open up to the public. She served an informal lunch and made Cranberry Apple Margaritas :-)

This is the amazing view from her house. We have a lot of evergreens here in western Oregon, but we treasure the gorgeous colors of the deciduous trees this time of year.

Meanwhile, my friend Eli and family took off early this morning, to time with baby's nap. They came by for an hour or so before departing. I had such a great time with them...but boy, that one-year-old energy has made me a wee bit tired!
