Hey everybody and thanks π for stopping by! πππ
Happy Summer Solstice! πβοΈβοΈ For those who live in the Northwest and points further north, we will experience quite the lengthy day. Here, daylight begins around 4:30 AM and darkness around 10:15 PM tonight, depending on cloud cover. I remember when we first moved here some 22 years ago, it was never ending daylight for weeks! We had previously lived in Ohio and then Colorado where there was more daylight during this time than winter, but it was so much more here that we really noticed it. Now, itβs not quite as sharp to us as it once was simply with the passage of the years. You just get used to it, lol π€£ Weβd probably have to go to northern BC or to Alaska to get that sense of awe again. π€
Today, we had planned a trip to Zβs-a place to trade scrap metal for cash. So that and mailing the coffee βοΈ I roasted yesterday. After those two errands were accomplished, we went to Tractor Supply, a local farm store, to pick up some T-posts to help with firewood πͺ΅ organization. I also found the perfect sign for .
She will be pleased with her own sign!
After that, a trip through the local coffee βοΈ haunt for their delicious mocha frappes and on to the car wash. Our pickup π» truck is red, bit it had enough moss and algae growing on it that you could mistake it for a Christmas ornament, lol π! It is now back to its brilliant Colorado Red color. If a vehicle π sits up here or even if you drive it daily, they can grow the moss and algae on them. Very strange! π€
It is full on digitalis season here! We took a bit of a road hike so I could get to a large offering of it. I just LOVE digitalis!!!π€©π€©π€©π Hereβs some eye π candy π for your viewing pleasure!
The previous picture is what I call a βQueen and her courtβ. It has one main flowering stalk with 3-4 smaller ones surrounding it.
There was a lot of bee π action as well!
I have many more digitalis photos but will save them for another day.
My hike was shorter as my back is still messed up; however I was able to take a little longer stride (hoping to stretch some muscles out) which did help and increased my hiking π₯Ύ speed a little.
Tomorrow sees me back to work and with the doc back from his vacation in Mexico. Itβs going to be a busy day. Weβll see how it treats my back π§
Thatβs gonna be it for now. Take care and enjoy your evening! Please continue to pray for Ukraine πΊπ¦
