A little catch up … aka long time no blog :)
We are all well! Above photo is from June 1 but we still look pretty much the same except the woods grasses are much taller!
I’ve not blogged because I have been using my blogging time to work on video learning: shooting AND editing. I have made good progress and hope to have some videos uploaded shortly. Currently, the typical 4th of July to ??? overload of visitors is playing havoc with my internet upload speed while everyone sends selfies of their vacation, etc.
So, taking a break from video and posting some photos that didn’t make it to Instagram.
The lupins are blooming all over! They have been beautiful but above photo is June 29 and now, July 7 they are coming to an end :(
All of the wildflowers were happy this year: wet and cool spring was to their liking … mine, Emmett’s and Oscar’s also.
Oscar continues to be happy staying very close to the house, so he gets to go outside with us when I’m doing yard chores or playing yard games with Emmett. He likes to hunt in the big stick pile and the other wood piles. He has not caught anything outside except bugs and flies. Inside he got a mouse one night and he is an excellent fly catcher! He traps the flies under a paw and then is mystified that they are dead. I am very happy with that outcome, though! I am thrilled that he is home boy and sticks with us.
It is the season of color at the moment … the wildflowers …
Sunset …
Lupins, canola fields and misty mountains along the road home!
And speaking of mist … this past Tuesday, after a rainy 4th of July weekend, it cleared overnight and got very cool: 45F. The dewpoint also 45F which = morning fog.
That fog put on quite a show as the sun rose:
Holy Cow!! Emmett and I walked and I gawked, took some photos and some video and it was just stunningly beautiful.
I will keep that day in mind. This week has been very nice, and we might get a bit more moisture off and on through the weekend. But next Tuesday and Wednesday are forecast to be hot: 88F and 91F. We’ll see how things go but it might be A/C time :(
*** All photos taken with my iPhone 12 Pro Max. I add this because I shared some of the misty morning photos with my work group and they were astounded. I am a little also when I think how far phone cameras have come. I have only had iPhone since the phone cameras took a leap in capability but get better and better! Most of my video is also coming from my phone … wait until you see :) !!!

It is great to see your photos again. I was getting a little worried and about to email you…it looks beautiful in your woods and the boys and yourself are all looking good. It’s hot here 34°C but the nights are still a bit cooler. We had a thunderstorm on Tuesday which watered everything.
Hi Margaret! I do post on Instagram almost every day and will probably continue mostly IG vs blog while I’m concentrating on video. The IG stream is on the blog, but probably all the way at the bottom if you are looking via phone or tablet. Also, much as I dislike Facebook, I needed to do some things that required FB so have an account and my IG posts land there as well.
