Summer, in a nutshell

I posted my keirin track bike for sell on Craigs List....


...and an old Schwinn that I converted into a single speed.


We had a yard sale and gave some stuff away




We visited Mt. Lassen....









...a creepy cave....




...Dunsmuir, where we slept in a train car and walked under a waterfall...


the yellow car was our home for the night 








...Mt. Shasta...



we decided to go on a hike once we drove up the mountain and i was fascinated by this plant we saw along the way



I was so glad to see there was a sign to teach me what this was






...and Mt. Shasta City where we drank from this natural spring...



...and frolicked through this enchanted forest...
(unfortunately i didn't have my camera on the correct setting. these pictures don't do it justice)



...and roamed the streets where we saw this sign...


...and the home of our most recent dreams. Thus, the craigslist ads, yard sales and giving things away. More on all that in a future post.

Borage


We recently dug up some borage from my gramma's house. It grows pretty wild in her yard, almost like a weed. We liked it because it has pretty flowers and attracted lots of bees. Once we brought it home we learned of its many uses, mainly its mood lifting abilities. Apparently drying the flowers and making tea with them makes you happy. We could all use a little happy in our lives so plant some borage and make tea.
