Before Columbia Land Trust came on the scene, life on Kandoll Road was quiet, serene and full of nature sounds for the local human inhabitants. Then, along came big money and ideas that would put fish and their habitat before people and their homes and property. In this case, Columbia Land Trust acquired lots of grant money to install two 13-foot diameter culverts under Kandoll Road which allowed flood waters from the Grays River to flow into Seal Slough. These high water events flooded neighboring properties and eroded private dikes on Seal...

Looks like we are back to the warm trend again. Personally I prefer the cooler but this makes it nice for picking berries and getting them frozen or made into jam or pies without fear of mildew. If I could keep my dogs from helping me by eating them off the vines, I would have lots more. The gardens are producing in abundance again this year, and our neighbor, Nancy George, as usual is providing us with delicious veggies grown with her tender loving care. Thank you Nan. Our yellow transparent apple tree had lots of apples and we have found a...
Did you enjoy the noisy light show on Tuesday morning? The rain was nice as well. Hopefully it dampened the area enough to alleviate some of our fire danger. Unfortunately our four large (100 pounds each) dogs weren’t too happy with the thunder and lightning and all wanted to be in someone’s lap to be petted and hugged. Not fun when there are only two laps available. Sometimes they are worse babies than real kids. News from Naselle: Are you interested in serving on the facilities committee of the Naselle-Grays River Valley School District? I un...
News from Naselle: We live in a very special place, with quite a few local businesses that depend on us to help them stay in business. I know that it is often cheaper to drive to Longview or Astoria for most items but I for one would rather pay a little more to shop closer to home and make sure that these businesses remain open. In Naselle we have a wonderful grocery store, a bank, several restaurants, a hardware store, a liquor store, a couple of espresso stands, a gas station and even a...
After the inch or so of rain in my rain gauge last week, it has been nearly perfect weather as far as I’m concerned. My kids and grandkids from California thought so, too. We had a houseful of family with our daughter and her two kids, our son and his three kids and a family friend (kind of an adopted son) here for just a short visit. It was great. Our nephew was also here from the desert of California, but will be returning home today. I will miss the commotion and the kid noises, but I’m sure my husband will be glad for the quiet, at lea...

As I finish up this column, the temperature is climbing and it looks like a really warm day for this Tuesday. Personally, I prefer the cooler days, but as long as it doesn’t last too long, I guess I can tolerate it. I love the sudden warm showers, then sunshine and even some rainbows on occasion. It’s time to make hay though, guess I shouldn’t jinx the haymakers. Fourth of July is tomorrow (Friday), and hopefully many will be celebrating with family and friends. Please remember to take special pains with your pets and keep them safe. So many...

Last weekend, it seemed like all the old cars in the whole area were driving down SR 4. What a wonderful sight, seeing all the cars and bringing back lots of old memories for many of us. I hear that the Car Show in Skamokawa was once again a huge success. I was happy to finally get a chance to mow the lawn again after all the moisture we had been getting. It was almost time to decide whether to bring cows into the yard to graze or to make hay. Once it starts growing in the spring, there’s no stopping it. News from Naselle: Naselle high s...
