Heading to Cali!

Pamalama,

I bet you'll be able to hang out in your backyard all winter! I look forward to seeing the finished space, complete with tiki torches! What is that large metal box attached to the back of the house and what kind of fruit tree is that? Apple? Tennis ball?

We had our first snowfall in the valley today! Three inches already! I did not have my scraper in the car so I used my hand - brrrr! I miss the Moscow house and that patio. It was our first major project. That house was SO great and had so much character - and no maintenance was required! I'll have to dig up some 6th Street photos and reminisce.

I can't wait to see you this Friday! Sometimes I love having friends sprinkled around the globe, other times it stinks not being closer to the ones I love. But, this week I'll get to take advantage of all the travelling I do for work. Hurray for leadership training and the soils conference in Long Beach!

I have to share this photo with you.
It's from an amazing small designer, EmersonMade. I LOVE the shoes, but more than that, I love the deer. For some reason it reminds me of you and me! I would love to buy a special dress or suit from this company... One day when the student loans are all paid off i can dress like and adult.

Did I tell you that we started growing hops? These pictured here aren't exactly the hops that Rob and I grew - but they are from the rhizomes that I bought (and were planted in my co-workers yard). He had much better success in growing hops this summer than we did. He was ever so gracious to share half of his crop with us this year. 
This is our plant with 2 of the 4 hop buds we were able to harvest.
Maybe next year we will use fertilizer and water on our plants. The only thing that 2 soil scientists can grow is good earth.

See you in a couple days!
