Come little leaves said the wind one day, come over the meadow with me to play.
Put on your dresses of yellow and gold. Summer is gone and the winter grows bold.

Goodbye Sweet Summer

Flying kites was the best at Bear Lake. Thanks Hilary for suggesting it. This was such fun.

Already looking forward to August 2011 and Old Historic School House. Start looking for your T shirts now to tie dye and tie dye kits.

Home Sweet Home. At least if you are a cliff dweller. This was an amazing site. Guess you could sweep your kitchen dirt right over the side of the cliff.

Is this just the coolest? It is a mural on the Walmart (of course) in Cottonwood Arizona. You have to be a teenager of the 50's and 60's to really appreciate this. Why were we in a Walmart in Arizona--long story.

And the days dwindle down

It is in the air. That feeling of soon to be autumn. Watching the kids walking to school, new backpacks, new school clothers, yellow school buses: all of that moves us into the new season of our life and our families. Gardens now heavy with produce remind us how blessed we are and how our own lives are heavy with produce. It's all good.

Well, that didn't last long.

So...The fella replacing Dad has quit and Dad is back to work full time again, until he can be replaced again. There is just no replacing that man is there? We will still take the days we had planned for Bear Lake and for Arizona. They have placed adds in their trade papers, and will be looking very hard, so hopefully this won't last too long--We won't let it last too long.

It is strange--so many people are out there looking for jobs, and we can't get rid of ours.
