I see snakes

It's kind of hard to write much at the moment, I'm having a great time but it's all quite absorbing and it's so easy to come home and zone out until 6.30 the next morning...

Mort & I made use of the long weekend the other week (Labour weekend) to visit the wetlands that are about 2km from us:




They are very different from the wetlands we're used to. Entering the reserve, we were surrounded by wild roses, apples and pear trees. And blackberries, of course. The bullrushes (cattails) were quite a sight.




The little loop track through the wetlands is on a boardwalk, and even though it's pretty dry at the moment, I'm really glad - I'm pretty sure this is poison oak:




Leaves of three - let them be; leaves of four - eat some more, right?

The highlight of the day had to be the snakes. We managed to spot three or four garter snakes, but they were a bit too quick for us to get a picture, unfortunately.

In food-travesty this week: Bunny-Luv brand carrots:


This concept of "Luv" confuses and infuriates us

Who doesn't like being sold carrots by a skanky anthropomorphic rabbit holding said vegetable in such a provocative manner?



We also got patriotic and tried the official Oregon State University ice-cream:
