HEAT!!

Record heat this week! Today it will get up to 105!


We are rapidly becoming savvy about how to survive in these temperatures, plus how to help our new little plant friends survive. Lots of water and try to find the shade.

Aaron has his cousin Matt here for two weeks visiting from Maryland. They found refuge in the fountains along the riverfront in downtown Corvallis while we shopped at the Saturday morning Farmers Market. Ahhhhhhh.

And in the shallow spots along the Willamette River.

Surprisingly enough it's possible to stay cool even on a hot day with enough big shade trees and the breezes off the river.

This is how Courtney and Ben deal with it all.
