We’re headed out to Lake of the Woods to camp and fish and commune with nature for a few days. Though I must say how fortunate we are to live on five acres of tall Douglas Fir, Ponderosa, Incense Cedar, Madrone and other trees and woods plants. We  have a Mediterranian-type climate that supports heath, heather, all manner of herbs, camillas, azaleas and even magnolias, all surrounded by evergreen wooded hills. I’ll try to post some photos from around our house.
