We’ve spent some time away from Coppertop this week along the Oregon coast. Such beauty!

Upon returning, we were amazed by how quickly the baby chicks are growing. At five weeks old, the girls have entered an awkward stage of less fluff and more feathers.

A great many blooms have burst open, just in the few days we were away. The Clematis armandii ‘Snowdrift’ we put in along the fence last year is beginning to open its sweet white blossoms.
