Spring happened early in Three Rivers this year. It also seems to be ending early. It is hard to comprehend that Farewell To Spring began blooming around the lake at the end of March, when normally they don’t appear until the end of April or beginning of May. You may have noticed that I am […]
Morning Walk in Three Rivers
This was on March 26, so things already don’t look like this. Spring goes too fast, particularly when we get early days of heat. And look at my yard when almost everything bloomed at the same time because of the early heat. Spring will end soon, and I will remember that this blog is supposed […]
Even More Spring in Three Rivers
Okay, it’s just pictures of spring in my yard. And I took these photos 2 weeks ago. Just hanging on to every last drop. Herb Garden first. Why do I have an herb garden? Because when we first moved to Three Rivers, I was desperately looking for anything the deer wouldn’t eat. Eventually I cobbled […]
More Spring in Three Rivers
Yes, some repetition here. This little segment of the yard is stunning, and I try to look at it different times of the day, every single day. Enjoying our seasonal “lawn”, which is mowed weeds, irrigated by rain. Lilac! P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, K.C.!
Loving Spring in Three Rivers
Let’s just enjoy some photos. Or how about you enjoy them while I recover from the book project, Springville’s Hospital. And then, I headed to church to work on Phase II of the landscaping project begun a couple of years ago.
Mid-day Walk in Three Rivers
Was it mid-day? or mid-morning? Dunno. Nobody cares. Let’s have some photos. Oops, these are from the early morning walk. Look how much the tulip opened in the 1/2 hour we were on the walk! This is Ray Hartman ceanothus, maybe the best one I’ve seen. There are several in the neighborhood. I like this […]
Field Trip
A dear friend had a birthday and expressed a desire to see my Ivanhoe library mural. I thought we’d just have a little tour, ending with lunch at Super Taco in Woodlake. We barely made the trip before all the green went away. This happens when it gets hot in March. Tryna not be greedy, […]
Morning Walk in Three Rivers
Before the sun hit the ridge across the canyon. Same flowers, after the sun hit the hills across the canyon. Comb Rocks. Now, back to book editing, photo editing, photo captioning and placing, and book formatting.
How Fast?
Walking Partner and I noticed something different a week or two ago here in Three Rivers: new speed limit signs on a private road. This is one post. 15 mph heading upstream, 5 mph heading downstream. (This is along the river—could you guess that?) Here’s another one: This time it was 15 mph going downstream […]
Tempted Away From Painting
On a fabulously springlike day in February, Trail Guy tempted me away from painting: easy to do when there are wildflowers and it isn’t hot and I don’t have a tight deadline. First, I noticed all the chemtrails. Yeah, yeah, I know, “contrails”, but I still think there are way more than we have passenger […]
