June 5: We are already eating a lot of veggies from my garden. Here are the first photos of my garden. Bob made me an 8x2 bed today for more square foot gardening. Planted two types of beets, round carrots, leeks, corn, and more lettuce. I will get more photos of the new bed so I can have before and after photos. If you look at the bed in front of the greenhouse you will see it empty and hollow. Now filled with plants and feeding us. Inside the greenhouse in the photo of the bed full of plants you can catch a glimpse of the new planter. This squarefoot gardening technique is working really well. Ding-a-ling from yesterday never went fishing today because the sea looked too rough.

June 6: My dearly departed Granny's birthday. Happy birthday in heaven Granny. Watch over my medical school apps please. I know it is what you wanted. Sent off 13 medical school applications, three left to do. Now the wait for invites to complete secondary applications. Wish me luck!

June 18: Last weekend, Hope and I hiked from Rialto Beach to Lake Ozette, via Cape Alava. It was 24 miles of mostly slippery rocks. We will not be doing that hike again. We love the Oil City to 3rd Beach coastal hike but this northern section was just plain tedious. See the photos here.

June 19: Just got back from a 13 mile hike. It was very misty as you will see in the photos. Hope and I took Lucy, Indy, Lilbit, and her dog Kadi. My tiny dog and her old dog had to skip this one. We did some geocaching on the way and Hope found all three caches. She is good at the cache hunting thing. I will be taking her to try locate the one Bob and I could not find at the twisted tree. See the misty hike photos here. Yesterday I broke my back removing the old rotten flower beds and replacing them with nice new ones that Bob built for me. I will take some photos so you can see the vast improvement. today after the hike I transplanted about 60 seedlings.
