Big Boys at Secret Spot














One for the ladies

Bob, Roark & Eric: The Masters of Big Surf

I don't have any details except Roarks's pictures, but it looks like another successful expedition to a Secret Spot on the North Coast. The adventurers appear to have survived the long, low-tide, in the dark, hike-in and were rewarded with both weather and waves. Way to go! Roark's expedition pictures HERE

Rednecks For Obama

Posted by PicasaTwo days ago I was lucky to be able to visit Henry in his natural habitat, the Prairie Garden Trust. The day was cool and wet which brought out the fall/earth colors for our walk around the property. The highlight of the day was a visit to Tree House III. As faithful followers of this blog know, the tree house is masterful in concept and execution, a bold human foray into the world of bird nesting. For pictures of the structure and of our walk click HERE.

Thanks for a great day, Henry, and the update on your amazing projects of natural preservation and restoration, health care, art and good living.

Adam's Pumpkins















Photo credit: Cindy Phelps

Adam Winnen is an incredible gourdologist!
He has somehow mastered the secrets of the great pumpkin as this picture shows.

Last night he oversaw a major pumpkin moving and loading operation at Kings Mountain pumpkin patch ( undisclosed location) in preparation for today's weigh-in prior to the Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival.

Pumpkin moving was followed by a massive feed and Sarah P birthday celebration at the Winnen homestead. Click HERE for pictures of the festivities and the giant gourd moving operation.

Up date: See video of the weigh-off here: KTVU VIDEO
(Sorry - you have to let a commerical roll before the weigh-off report starts). At about 1:19 into the video, see Holly and Adam in their pumpkin hauling truck answer a question on growing secrets.
