Just moved up from Bend last month, bought a fixer, upper off Highway 26 with too many trees in the yard and not enough daylight. Last Tuesday I drove to Fred Meyer in Sandy hoping to find a decent coffee can, ended up grabbing half a pound of their dark roast and some half, and, half that smelled like it had been sitting too long. Now my kitchen smells like burnt toast mixed with old cream, and I can’t decide if I should toss it or brew a pot anyway.
Trees are calling to me louder than the quiet here, but not in a good way. Anyone else fighting the urge to just start hacking away at everything green around you? Or am I losing it?
