July Headed Out...

The kids are going in thirty directions at one time, and we only have nine of them. Even though they're still all at least close by, it strikes me how much they are out doing their thing and helping out with others' projects.

I do enjoy when they stick around and enjoy some summer food and the company of friends, though it doesn't happen as much as I'd like.

Looking Forward

July is wrapping up fast, as all months and years do.
It's been a wild ride with rain and heat, but we've survived gratefully and I'm hopeful for August.
For now...

Gifts From Way Far Away...

An offering of fine poetry and pleasing imagery from a a good friend and brother far off on the other side of the earth. He's a man for which our family is happy as punch to have as an inspiration and creative influence non-parleil...




Namaste, Uncle Weed, as ever!

Hot a dry again, these days. Hot and dry.

Pioneer Day Fireman's Breakfast 2018

Getting ready for and eating the Fireman's Breakfast.
Spring City is a fine place to live and learn.

Bountiful Handcarts. Parade, at Least. If Not Lots of Handcarts.

Up to Bountiful for the dinner and parade.
Endless good it does us.
Thanks to the family, both here and up north.

Günter

He's a good dog.

July Skies, Continued

I sure take lots of photos of the sky and clouds.
There're many reasons for that.

Oh. And lots of photos of her.
Also. Reasons.

Summertime

A week of plants, fish, bugs, and good sunsets.

Good Hope

What a day. It's amazing how a little water on the ground and hope of water for the future will do for a psyche.
Tea ceremony for the family- dang it's always good to have these fluids around...

Rain

Changes, indeed.
Not lots, but it's a start.
A good little start.

Water Sounds

At least there's some water in the barrel-
there seems to be some changes on the southern horizon, though. Monsoon sometime soon, hopefully...

Independence

Not a lot of fireworks to be had today; too dry and not much of the old pocketchange required. 

Hot and enjoyable to be with the family though.

A Piece of July Sky

There ya go. What I often look up to see.
When I'm lucky, which is much of the time at this time of day.
