recent events have included: a trip into Portland to visit our family friends, pumpkin carving, vespa riding, city exploring, and yummy yummy food eaten (like baby octopus!)

then back to Carlton where we've been continuing to press our wine, but have some time off: yesterday we went on a hike nearby the winery and after 45 minutes of walking we happened upon this open valley with vineyards below and mountains in the distance. it was a good time with a good bottle of wine. then last night we built a bonfire and cooked hotdogs and marshmellows on the fire.
