Harmony Crossing
painting by Lynn Thomas
(It looks a little funny because its very impasto
and the dotty looking stuff is shadows from the paint.
In "real life" its quite nice, and impressionistic.)
This morning is just lovely except for the smoky haze in the air. Got the flower pots watered and a few more dead canes out of the raspberries. My mind is a blank for writing anything - no news or nothing happening here. The ranchers are back at their haying next to us. I don't know why they stopped for so many days, Joe says the hay must have been too wet.
The coyotes have sure been singing around our place a lot lately. I always like to hear them, and so do the dogs. They sing along.
Have to call about the TV today and both of us need dentist appointments. I'm cleaning the oven this morning, which of course consists of pushing two buttons. Wish I'd thought to do it last night, since the heat will probably make it hot in the house. Tonight is scheduled a meeting about the Community and Fine Art Center, but Edis and her mom will be here for dinner. I would like to be there to give the artists input but it doesn't look like I will make this one either. Melita and Dawn are coming over to visit and check out the art show. It will be fun to see them for sure .
Go to http://www.pinedaleonline.com/ asap (before they take it off) to see another awesome photo of the New Fork fire with the Lozier's Box R ranch in the foreground. This is very scary. You can click on it there to make it bigger. If the link is gone off the front page, it's probably in the innards somewhere that you can check it out anyway. I tried to stick it on my blog but it turned out tiny/unclickable, so figured it would be better for you to go there to check out that picture. There have been a few other small fires that have also started from unattended campfires, one not far from Charm's house at Boulder Lake. They are up in the mountains on a pack trip right now. And did you see on Sally's blog where they went through a fire in Yellowstone on their motorcycle with it burning on both sides of the highway??
This is a "WOW". Never saw them before - making shadow puppets our of their whole bodies, not just their hands. Can't figure if they are dancers or gymnasts. Then there are a bunch more videos on them to watch.
