Tall phlox..................coming on strong

We are going to be getting some really hot temps this week.  In the low 100's.  😡

Denny's new toy-wildlife cam.  He set it up in my barn.

Balloons over Bend

Annual Balloons over Bend........................Denny, Devin and Meagan all met at 5:00 in the am to watch them fuel up with hot air and get off.  I am going next year.  :)    

Hot days but lovely evenings.............

They were warning us of thunder and lighting....

Pretty skies...

Sunriver Thousand Trails......July 14th through 16th

We  left Friday morn for Sunriver and met Brad, Ruth and family.  We spent most of the time at the pool.

Went to the Sunriver Thrift Store and I found some good finds.  I think everyone found some good stuff.  Mine was a 65 piece dinner set by Mikasa and two bowls.  see pictures

It was a good weekend!

Check out these coffee cups

Grand Prix Dressage Rider-he found his top hat

We had some difficulty placing it on his head

Home Again....................

Meaggie did a good job of taking care of the place while we were gone.  My painted child cut his leg (on irrigation pipe at best guess) the Sunday after we left.  Both of the girls helped with getting him through 10 days of stall space until the stitches came out.  It looks good and I am hoping that he should just have a small scar.    Grrrrrrrrrrr

It felt good to be home and  back in my yard.  Most of my hanging baskets survived.  It's hard to keep them going with such hot weather.  I cut out an area by the pond that was high traffic and the dogs had wrecked the lawn.  I really like it better. 

Our next little trip is Sunriver Thousand Trails this weekend with Brad and Ruth.  It will be nice to be around a pool.

Peonies just before we left.  They are all gone now.

I like it-

This was given to us by our neighbors who just moved.  He was a waiter...

He is now a Grand Prix dressage rider....

Looking for a top hat...
