Houseplants

I have all of my houseplants at my north-facing living room window to catch the last of the summer sun. I’ll probably have to use some artificial lighting  this fall and winter because I don’t have any south-facing windows. The pots on the windowsill are all babies: two aloes, two  jades, one spider plant, one [ READ MORE ]

Glass for a Coffee Table

We found a coffee table the other day. It’s a nice one, but there were two empty places where glass should go. Since I had a large piece of glass, I decided to have it cut down for the table. I took it to this place in West Eugene called Eugene Mirror and Glass Co, [ READ MORE ]

Crater Lake

I went to Crater Lake for the first time ever. It was beautiful, of course, and extremely blue. I read in the visitor guide that it’s the deepest lake in the world (as calculated by average depth, and not counting lakes below sea-level.)[ READ MORE ]

We stopped at Multnomah Falls on the way up to Washington. It’s just off of I-84 east, near Troutdale. I couldn’t help thinking there was something magical about the place. It felt like a setting from a fantasy novel. I could tell by the flora that this part of northern Oregon is a temperate rainforest.  [ READ MORE ]

Eclectic Spirituality

I took a walk in Ashland’s Lithia Park yesterday. It’s beautiful this time of year, with nice paths and flowering Rhododendron bushes. However, what stood out was the strange mix of religious symbolism. You know you’re in Ashland when you see Ads for Jesus near stone piles reminiscent of Bronze Age pagan grave markers Jesus [ READ MORE ]
