I'm spending the summer house sitting here in Bend's Higher Ground Co-housing Community[
https://sites.google.com/site/highergroundcohousing/] for my friends Perry and Carol who are leaving next week to bike across the U.S.
This is Higher Ground's Common House where various events are held. On Wednesday night in the summer there is a potluck dinner. Last night's was pretty well attended. A fairly full house with several dozen people attending.
I've been getting out for a short morning walk to get familiar with the local critters since I arrived on Sunday afternoon. It's going to take me awhile to figure out what all I'm seeing but here are a couple that I spotted this morning:
House sparrow.
Western Scrub Jay
And this grey squirrel was pretty curious about what I was up to.
