Frost took out a number of plants so I spent a number of hours pulling out tomatoes, cosmos, nasturtium, cucumber, squash, dahlias, and others, chopped them up and moved them to the compost heap. Removed dahlia bulbs for winter storage, and buried some potted plants for overwintering.

With wind and rain we opted to walk around McArthur Island, but we lingered along the native garden sections of the loop route.

A 12.25 km hike, but not a nature hike.    I did spot a few wildflowers (no surprises though), and a patch of rattlesnake plantains.

A hike through the open forests and grasslands slopes near Joyce Gulch.    Not much in bloom, except some rabbitbrush.

Two times around the lake in a kayak, followed by a nature hike on the trails
