Samantha and I are trying to make a habit of jogging every evening. Tonight we went up and over one of the ramparts to Witham Hill. On Crest Drive, we found a tree loaded with plums. It’s amazing how much fruit goes to waste in this town. We are thinking of creating a map of all of the fruit trees and other edible plants in Corvallis so that people can find places to get fresh fruit in season.
Just past the plum tree, I mentioned to Samantha how a house had a eerily realistic deer statue in the front yard. Upon closer inspection, we realized with quite a start that it in fact was a very much live four point buck in excellent condition. It watched us for a minute then ambled into the back yard of the house.
In total, our run was 2.8 miles.
