UCFS Stuff and Dominique’s Cooking

UCSF stuff

I needed to call UCFS to see why they haven’t called me to set up an appointment yet.

I called with  no phone wait and talked to the lady that said they haven’t received the FAX from VA to start things in action and I’d have to call them, so I did. They said they sent the FAX and would send it again.

After a wait, I checked with UCFS again, but they still didn’t receive the fax, so something was wrong. I ran out of time before the day was over so didn’t get that resolved yet.

Yard

During the day, I went over to visit Dominique to see what she was cooking today.

I looked around the yard for her.yard1

And noticed lots of stuff blooming in her yard.tree

Berries

I found her picking wild blackberries.berries4

She was going to make some jelly  or jam out of them and put them in this big pot.pot5

So she could mush them up.mushing6

She removed some of the seeds and put the pot on the stove to cook.cook7

She’d just finished canning these peaches.canned2

So they were done.peaches3

And it was time to clean up.sink8

Brushing Out A Neighbors Road and A Drink of Water at the Spring

Wednesday July 30, 2025 Guerneville CA.

Neighbor’s road work

I’d told a neighbor that I’d brush his old road and get it ready so a truck could use it.

The skidder was parked here by this spring, ready to move more brush off the road.

I shouldn’t have parked Hondo so close as later I backed into it with the skidder lifting one side off the ground before I saw was happening. Lucky, no damage was done, but it was close, close enough to do some real damage.rigs1

I’d just finished getting all the brush off this road and was done for the day. I still have a bit of touch up to do, but not today as I was beat and it was almost five, quitting time.road2

A drink

I was thirsty, so I headed for home stopping at this spring for a drink of water.spring3

I drink down a cup of water and then headed for home.water4

Nice day.
