ode to Oregon

after a week of backpacking in Oregon, i feel thankful. thankful enough to write a poem in OR's behalf...

swaying pine trees circle 'round the lake
hiking up and down your mounts is no piece of cake
i will miss your snow-capped peaks and raging rivers
remembered time in your forest still make me shiver(s)

with love to Oregon,
from Merilee. :)

Summer fun-tivities

My friend Calli called me up the other day to invite me to a fiddler's convention. A fiddler's convention! Count me in!

The music was sweet, the festivities fun, and the pork sandwiches greasy. Here's to bluegrass fiddlin' and good times with friends!
