Lazy days of summer with all the creatures

Summer marches in, with every day a carbon copy of the last with blue skies, crystal clear air, and soaring peaks.Coyote howling in the night,actually much visiting of coyote, one in particular we're seeing at different times zipping through the yard. He/she has a distinctive fur line down his side - easy to identify.

More flowers have popped up, pretty hardy considering we've had no rain in weeks. I'm just grateful we don't have any fires happening as opposed to the massive fire on the other side of the state. So much damage and barely controlled at all.

first columbine in the woods

Deer seem to be everywhere - have to drive slowly around Star Mt. to avoid collision. These were going down to the water hole, which we've named "mudhole", especially apropo now with it mostly dry.

none of these are Flap - seen her only twice!

The start of company coming next week. It will be quite busy and fun for the next few weeks with rolling waves of people. It's a great time of year to come!

Finished another book, one of a series by Rhys Bowen. Evanly Choirs - mystery set in Wales. Light and entertaining.
Mark is back for a week - hurray, but it always seems to go verryyy fast.

Enjoying that hammock. Come on over...
