I Need A Vacation

Many more days like this and both of us are going to need a vacation. I mowed the grass down the edges of the driveway and then mowed and weed whacked around the worm fence at the county road. The people who bought our ranch and other house are coming Thursday so I also mowed their grass.

After lunch I went back down to the other house and cleaned a little. Joe and Tammy live in Denver and have two teenagers. They never seem to get away from Denver very early and I just hate to have them walk in late at night to a house that isn't exactly clean as it has been empty for months.

OK, got that chore accomplished, now I see that my Explorer needs a bath. By the time I finished washing the car, I was pooped. I fixed a quick pasta dinner and now I am wondering how I am going to get out of this chair.

While we were having dinner, a quick thunderstorm moved through and I took this photo of the double rainbow.

The rest of the photos are of some of the wildflowers we see every morning on our walks. The first one is cow parsnip, the plant has huge, king size leaves and then this pretty white flowering stalk.
Lupine, notice the lady bug at the top of the flower. I didn't see the lady bug when I was taking the photo, only when I downloaded it.

Michael thinks this is a wild geranium.

Poor Michael is trying to get his old tractor to run without much success today, maybe tomorrow will be a better day.
