Flowers, camping, and summer going by too fast

Where in the world is the time going? July is zooming by and the giant list of things to do and explore has barely been touched. Aaugh...

Ah yes, scrumptious steaks with sauteed mushrooms and onions

We did however, make it out for an overnight camping trip- same place as last year- up Ohio Pass. Lovely evening, but apparently we are wimps - next morning packed up early early to go back home for showers etc. 10 minutes from home does it!

Wildlife report: First sighting of twin fawns this morning. The deer have been few and far between after a big showing in June. We're thinking they may have jumped across the road to our neighboring ranch with lots of water. And the orange Rufus hummingbirds arrived last week. We're still coasting with the feeders but it's starting to pick up. We'll see if they get even close to the levels of sugar guzzling from last year.

Missing that little Penny. A couple extra pics from their visit. And hurray family coming Sunday - Paul, Sherry, and the kids. Love to share the summer...
