The Wash Runs Through It

Seasonal creekbed... monsoon weather is just around the corner, will we see a flow of water.. curious!!

Later: Answer is YES (month later). A flash flood runs across the driveway,  a culvert may be necessary. We'll see.

a morning walk with Charlie

Most Prized Possession

A new life for Charlie...we got the scoop. 

We found out that Charlie IS chipped. Long story short, the owners were contacted and, hard to believe, they don't want him anymore. His real name was 'Doc', but no more... now he's Charlie and he's ours!!! =)

My Right Foot

...really hurts! =)

My Sky

Everyone has one...  

Green Pastures

He leads me... btw, by the time you find green pastures, I hope you're not too old to jump the fences. =)

"Charlie"

Charlie 'adopted' us yesterday. We don't yet know if this Queensland Blue Heeler belongs to someone, whether he's chipped or not, but he's the sweetest, most loving and loyal dog ever.... I'll keep you posted. We named him Charlie because he didn't tell us his real name (no collar).

Lunch in La Conner

 Get there early 'cuz there's usually a bit of a wait...

Thirsty

When you're a cowboy, life isn't all about horses and rodeos. It's about mud and dirt and cowboy boots. ~Cowboy proverb

"If you show low, you win."

Two disputing early settlers duke it out along Deuce of Clubs Drive, the main street through town. The deuce of clubs turned up and Show Low was named. ~1870

The Waterfront

The aim of life is self-development. To realize one's nature perfectly - that is what each of us is here for. ~Oscar Wilde
