Truth About Bread

Bread is like the sun. It rises in the yeast and sets in the waist. ~a meme I saw on Facebook.

Ahahahaha, true!

On the Windowsill

Ripening garden tomatoes.

Are we having fun yet?

nothing more beautiful in the whole wide world.

Drizzle Happens

The little chicks and hens depend on it.

We have a lot of work to do. Our cute little guest gazebo has sprung a leak in its very old Cedar shake roof. The deck needs some TLC as well as a few other things..

Office Flowers

ours are all deader than a doornail lol.

Life is Good

making arrangements for our internet/phone service, though, it'll be a few days.

Gimme that old time religion. Call me old fashioned but bring back the hymnals! We want to follow along our parts! Oh, while I'm at it, we don't need the band, just sayin'. 

Happy Hour

it's that time of the year again!

g'nite Storm

Out the kitchen window last night, July departed with a bing bang boom.

Little Old Wagon Wheel

Macro Mondays - Decay

Slice from the past. One wheel is the only surviving bit of that cute little old wagon that once lived in the backyard garden. For perspective, photo is under 3" side to side.

Cute as a Bellybutton, AZ

Small as a bellybutton too, maybe more cows than people! Between Snowflake and Taylor, it's the smallest of the 3 communities. So small that by the time you see this sign, you're already halfway through... picked up a dozen farm fresh eggs at their farmer market today.

Patience

Didn't notice the cute little bird waiting out the pitter patters when I took this picture.

There Goes the Sun

Every night, a brand-new sky specially designed by our Supreme artist.

Rainy Day

An atypical but welcome pitter patter.. something not seen here much, light rain. Such a treat!

It's Sunset O'Clock

Power of Silence

Mark Twain ~The right word might be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause.

And then the monsoon evening culminated into a most beautiful crescendo of color.
