A SHORT ONE TONIGHT

DSC_0033

It was a morning for yard maintenance.  But no power equipment on a Sunday thanks.  Trimming shrubs & raking up pine needles for burning.  Air was cool enough for that kind of work & even cool enough for us to make it all the way around the morning trail these past couple days.

Might want to keep watch on Cheryl Ann’s blog over at DEEP CANYON.  She lives in Palm Desert California area near Idyllwild where that wildfire is going on right now.  She has seen smoke & been driving out to monitor the fire’s progress & direction of travel.  FIRE CLOUD-SKY WATCH

Summer is slipping away & here it is July 21rst already.  A short month from now our weather will be changing as we enter mid August’s early glide into Autumn.  My favorite months of the year September & October are approaching.  September’s Labor Day week-end has always been our un-official end of summer & is my favorite long week-end simply because it is time we Snow Birds to begin rustling our feathers a bit once again.  But of course I am way ahead of myself here.  Sitting at the keyboard in our sunroom tonight it was the dominate thought making my mind smile.  And I like when that happens……..:))

  3. Glad you are having some cooler weather. It's been a warm summer here in Oregon but that's better than the wet cool one we had last year. It's never too early to think on things that make your heart happy - fall will be here before you know it.

  4. That was a nice moon last night. It was very low in our South sky as we got ready for bed at 02:00 AM. Kathy looked out our front window and said " Tom there is a wonderful Moon outside" I answered back " that is the streetlight" We were up another hour to correct that foot in the mouth statement. I went outside and took a shot from our neighbors rear bumper of his SUV. It will be about all I put on tonight's post.
