Monday night saucing.

Are you ready for some football? Or apple parts all over your kitchen? Eddie and Erin were game. Joel was QB, and there were no fumbles. Score was Dozeman's: 3 pints, to Ysunza's: 4. 

Pumpkin surgery.

Resident hang out for the first time at our place. Ate chili, cornbread, fried chicken, and had spiked cider. Party ended around 8:30 when most people had to go home to let their dogs out. But then Allie got paged and had to go fix a sliced tendon from someone dropping a mason jar on their foot. Boo. 

FALLing in love with Portland.

Clockwise from top right: Joel's Moroccan stuffed acorn squash, mt. Hood from the bridge over to the other main hospital, a guy making gigantic bubbles in the park down our street, mushrooms galore at the PSU market. 

Fall projects: two, wood rack

Even when it was 90 degrees Joel was dreaming of the day when he could build a fire in the wood stove. In planning for that day, and subsequent wood burnings, he desired a huge pile of wood. And I desired a nice orderly way to store it. 

Fall projects: one, coat rack

Thrifted MI cross country ski coat rack, and spying on the rack builder.
