Field of Wild Iris

Ruby Mountains Nevada

This morning started off cloudy black and cool. I thought it would pour rain, but as usual we aren't getting it. The tiniest drops on the window. Now sunny with plenty of blue sky. How much longer can we stand all these perfectly pleasant days?? Oh well, the good is that the ranchers can keep haying.

I finished Lonesome Dove and Tales of the Plains, the third episode of Lonesome Dove. Funny I know I've seen it but it was like I never had. It's quite a wonderful movie, or series. Long, excellent story, wonderfully made, super photography. Several times it occurred to me that this story was similar to Brokeback Mountain. Just a thought. Next watched The Edge, one of my favorites. I'm liking the videos with no commercials.

The studio organization and carpet cleaning is finished today. Huge amounts of plain dirt came out of the carpet when I dumped the dirty water container. I'm looking forward to when all the slide boxes are out of the cabinets, and then all the things sitting around the studio can be stored in their place. I got a few things put away in there replacing the boxes Zane took and it sure helps.

Joe kept want to help me. Sometimes he drives me nuts asking questions and lately its been over and over if I wanted him to use the carpet cleaner. Of course not. Although I appreciate him wanting to help I know he wouldn't do it thoroughly enough for one thing, so its easier to slowly do it myself. So I asked if he would like to clean the windows outside and he did that yesterday. I had done the outside of some of them from the inside - you know how they make the windows open now so you can clean the outside from inside. It is feeling so good to have all the cleaning done at once.
