They’re comin’ outta the woodwork, I tells ya. Another old co-worker from the dark days of Cove Bikes showed up today in the form of one Paul Jolley. Paul disappeared to the Eurozone around 14 years ago, and just showed up with a Swiss miss and some kind of German joinery ticket.
I don’t know what that means, but as Barb tells me, this baby snake we saw is a Northwestern Garter Snake.
Mean little bugger; he took a few strikes at me.
Meanwhile, Dani (the aforementioned Swiss Miss), was sending various drops in the neighborhood in fine style.
Of course, the male of the pair felt that he must go bigger, and so he did.
As today is the unofficial first day of summer (yeah, it’s finally hot and dry), we celebrated with some new vintages.
Thanks for the vineyard tour, Addy!
OK, one is never enough, so we shredded another one out.
Happy first day of summer everyone. Time to get out there!
Oh, almost forgot. Today’s wildlife tally was one NW Garter snake, a whitetail deer, a black bear, and three mountain goats. Not too bad…
