Are We Dry??

Sunday I checked out the creek with part of the farm dog team.  Don't know how I got away without the hot peppers but it made for a little calmer exploration.

The elderberries bloom along the creek's edge.

You can tell the creek is low. It is fed by three wet weather springs and two full time springs. I have not seen the creek this low in a very long time.

Tried to capture the water skater

but only his shadow is clear.

Normally I travel up the creek so it remains clear.

This day we traveled down and stirred the silt.

The Borders were having a ball.

Lil tries to catch the water skaters

but never gets one.

There was rain all around us Monday.

We were blessed with one tenth.

With All The Work Waiting...

I took a walk, after all, isn't that why you take a day off, to enjoy some of it?  After the doctor, the grocery shopping, the weedeating and the hand laundry but before the dishes, I treated myself.

We played in the creek.

We explored

and we played stick.

We watched Kubota King operate.

I kinda like days off!
