Gas Prices on the Rise!!

Finally a day off to go play - ha! Who wants to go off to play with gas prices the way they are - up .39 in two weeks! Gouge, gouge, gouge.. guess the greedy gas mongers are at it again! ha! We are off to Yakima today - had planned to go there all last summer but just couldn't do it with gas prices so high - now they are on the rise so will run down there quick before the prices get any higher! Good grief.. when prices go too high we quit driving.. I would rather stay home than feed the gas gougers any more than I absolutely have to...

Had a very, very busy Memorial weekend! Where did all those people come from. For the most part we had a good weekend. Campers were pretty good... only cut a few branches from bushes (a BIG No No) and only 1 big log to throw in dumpster! Dumpsters were FULL! We get a lot of neighbors in community that use our dumpsters (we figure that's better than having trash on ground) even though it cost an arm and leg for trash service.

Met some nice folks from Minnesota passing through - small world - they had stopped in Livingston, MT to visit friends and that is where my brother and his family lives.. too much!!

Loving the flock of Evening grosbeaks we have at feeders now.... have to refill the feeders about 5 times a day but what the heck.. they are just passing through so enjoying them while we can.

More later after pictures get downloaded...

We were surprised to have Earl III come down for a very short visit in Aug 2017 and took him up to Sedona and Taliesin West to see Frank Lloyd Wright's art school.  Very interesting tour and unique setting.  Of course homes are crowding in on this area now so not the seclusion that was intended when originally built.

Hingham, MA

Before leaving Hingham I finally was able to get a picture of this sign.  Massachusetts has one for each of their towns and it's such a kick to drive from one town to another and see this sign with date of settlement started.  Hard to get pictures because you don't know where the town line begins and there is no place to pull over for a quick stop and picture.  It's a bummer. On this one I was lucky enough after a month to be driving towards sign and 1st at stoplight with camera next to me. ha!  All these towns are so historic and have some wonderful history.  Too bad so many have been neglected.  Roads are terrible in most places and some are really run down while others thrive.. just like anywhere.  Just interesting observations. I was taken so much with Hingham because we lived there for 5 weeks and it was so CLEAN!  Loved the manicured yards and over 1800 historic homes and some still in residence of 13 generations!  That is something in this young country with so littl

It was a bit of a surprise to see this guy swoop down on this dove at our "quail block" the other day.  He sat there looking around long enough for us to get a few pictures then flew off to eat in private.  Thank goodness he took the dove with him instead of feasting right there.  They have to eat too; and all that but it is disturbing to come out and see a pile of feathers.  I can speak from past experience they do not leave anything behind besides feathers.. no skin or bones or waste...  Pretty isn't it...
