Jane's adventures keep going on!

Never a dull moment in the life of Jane

garden vegies
I love to saute my garden produce for breakfast.  I probably have potatoe, onion, zuccini, yellow squash, squash flowers, egg, and tomatoes.

Rockville Hills Park Lake
In the fall Canada Geese gather and a Great Egret is overseeing their meeting from his perch on a dock.
Hunter and Haydn and I trekked up the trail into the park for a fall adventure.  It is always fun to see what is new.

Garter Snake
Hunter, the outdoors-survivor, is afraid of nothing.


Haydn heading for college students
A class was studying the invertebrate zoology of the lake.  Of course, Haydn needed to be present in the adventure.  See him running in the bottom middle of the picture?

Muir Woods in October
Jeannie Foster and I headed west into the Redwood forest on her day off, 5 Oct.  We came across many beautiful, serene places the one above.

All Burned Out
Jane and the twin burns.  These trees survive almost everything including diseases and fire!  Many are several hundred years old.  I am learning about the stream and its livng properties as well as the forest from two great books that I bought.

Columbus Day Hike
Holly, friends Len and Marlin, Haydn and Hunter, and I headed North-west last Monday for a wonderful adventure-filled time at the Bothe State Park NW of Napa.  the rest had fun at the creek while Marlin and I visited the nature center.  Then we had lunch at Gotts and then watched the boys rock climb at a great place in Napa.

Cub Scouts trash pick-up Service project.
These are 14 of our 17 cub scouts plus 5 adult helpers.  We picked up trash along the highway north and south of Rockville Hills Park for an hour.  We have done this for two years now, and it really helps create a lovely environment plus giving respect for nature.  The boys added this to their earning of the Citizenship belt looop.
