Moms got a new ride

Well, as you can guess this is dad's ride, but on Sunday we took a drive up to   Bowman  Dam and checked
out the scenery there.  Lee feels like a kid when he gets behind the wheel!!!!

There were lots of boats on the water Sunday all playing and  no fishing.

It is a very deep canyon and lots of very beautiful rock formations to be seen.

Last week we went kayaking with our friends Dorothy and Gary.  My new kayak  took  her maiden
voyage.  I am looking forward to Parker next winter and all the time on the water. We were at Hosner lake
just outside of Bend.  Very beautiful and water so clear that you could see the fish and the bottom of the
lake.

This was the end of the trail.  We had lunch at this wonderful spot and then  headed back to the cars
and home.  We look forward to doing this at least a couple of times again this summer.

Summer has finally arrived!

Well, I did it again pictures first and the story at the bottom of the page. My poppies
have been just beautiful and if the deer don't eat all the flowers I will have some for
the fair.

Our garden has been doing great. I even have some volunteer  tomato starts from last years  plants.

 The boys had so much fun with the fire works at the 4th of July, so they had them 3 nights in a row.  The
 dogs were happy when it was all over. John our neighbor at the lake helped keep the dog occupied.

 We took the boys fishing, but all Wyatt wanted to do was hold the worms.  Not enough action
  from the fishing so we decided to go to the beach for lunch and water time.

 Playing around in the water and making sand dams and rivers was the most fun of all.

Summer at long last has arrived.  Our garden is producing cucumbers, herbs, and zucchini. We had our first cucumber 10 days ago.  The tomatoes are still green, but we are suppose to be hot again by the end of the week.  It would be nice to have them ready to go to the fair on the 8th of August.  We had Porter and Wyatt over the 4th of July for a few days and I don't know who had more fun with the fireworks, Lee or the boys. Below are a few pictures from the 4th and the garden.
