Grant Balfour picks up the win in the Oakland Athletics thrilling victory today. I think if my last name was Balfour I would have chosen a position other than pitcher.

While at the Trium Winery this past weekend we were offered dates to eat. A bit of the date fell onto our table, and this yellow jacket immediately zeroed in on a snack. The yellow jacket carved out a little piece of the date and then flew off with the lighter sample.

We visited Paschal Winery & Vineyard for the first time this past weekend. Paschal isn’t far from Ashland, just a few minutes up the road in Talent. I took today’s panorama from the deck. Just to the left of center is a different angle on Grizzly Peak than I’m used to from Ashland. On the right side of the photo is Wagner Butte. Mt. Ashland can’t be seen from this location. If you look really closely you may be able to spot the moon and a baby.
