Get out and vote

Published by admin on Thu, 08/13/2026 - 8:00am

It is primary election time and probably one of the only times I will get political. This year it is especially important that every person votes in the primary. We have several candidates for some of the races and many factions vying for them to get the offices.

Finally caught up with Hagen - hadn’t seen him since he returned from his mission trip to Costa Rica.  Interesting conversation; he thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would like to return next summer.

Have my countertops filled with Palisade peaches, thanks to Rick and Sam who brought them to me Saturday.  Beautiful on the outside but still needs some “ripening” on the inside. This unusual weather we’ve been having  has fouled up the “growing” season.  Did get a couple cut up for ‘dessert’ that evening and they DID taste like fresh peaches.  Just have to tell myself to be patient -all good things come to those who wait.

What a nice reprieve

It is Monday morning; we have survived a full two weeks with temperatures over 100º almost every day. This morning it is a wonderful cool, 75º and a nice northwest breeze blowing. It makes me know why horses like to kick up their heels on a cool breezy day. I almost want to do the same. I don’t dare though; if I did, I would probably break something.

Rattlesnakes and birthday cake

We should have known what would happen. With the extreme heat of the past weeks, the rattlesnakes are fleeing the hills and appearing in yards and gardens that offer cool resting places.
