Almont Triangle, Taylor River, and Soupcon with masks

All things truckin' along here at Star Mt. We have somehow marched straight into August - what? We are in between company and jumping out to explore on our own.

Did the trek up to Almont Triangle. More people than we usually see but that's become very normal for this year. Quite beautiful up there. There was a mystery building spotted also, what the heck is that? RMBL does science experiments (biology) up there, maybe connected.

As I deeply hoped would not happen, all our new plantings around the stone patio are being consumed by tiny creatures (chipmunks and ground squirrels) and larger ones (deer). We'll see if anything survives. Other areas of destruction are my daylilies, see photo above. This one is directly attributed to one of Flap's children. At least we think. She usually shows up to decimate the lilies which most deer won't touch. Big sigh here, but we really love all the creatures. Wouldn't change a thing...

Mark fishing in one of his preferred spots on the Taylor. I went as I enjoy this particular spot. A little camera action and some quick painting as well. What a gorgeous river! Also more crowded than we're used to. At least this spot was open.

A sight I bet you never thought you'd see. Our special gourmet restaurant Soupcon with masks. Glad they were able to figure out how to safely open but wow. Food was wonderful albeit a little different form- tasting menu choice only with outside seating added. Same chef, same great staff, which by the way, most came down with the virus in March. Our little area was hit hard. All fine now, thank goodness. What times we are living in....
