Waiting for a breath of fresh air

We've been going through a batch of smokey skies that hide the mountains, making the sun look like a rosy orange ball in the sky. Some days it's so dark it feels like dusk at midday.

Goats weed blossoms in the sun.


But it does give everything a warm end of summer look. 

Goats weed in the sun.

Waiting for a breath of fresh air 


While there's a golden peachy toned light evenly bathing everything in its glow... all that smoke has us waiting for a breath of fresh air, and a good solid breeze to blow it away.



I know it's not popular to wish away the summer heat...but I'm doing it...and hoping that when the heat goes away, so does the constant threat of wildfires. 

 I can't help myself, I'm longing for days spent on the mountains, breathing in deep lungfuls of fresh air. ...

 What about you?

Until now I've managed to avoid becoming a "word for the year" kind of person   Staying away from any places where there might be talk about choosing your "word for the upcoming year" or situations that might possibly make "the word" part of my life...of course, well meaning friends would say..." oh, you have to get a word, it will change your life. We can't believe how much we love our "word" it's great having one." Right...ah ha... And it's only for a year.  Sure it is...once you start....it's a slippery slope. To me "the word" is like going into a pet store when you have absolutely no intention of bringing home that cute cat in the window... The next thing you know.. Yo...

If A Tree Falls

There's a phrase that reads... If a tree falls                                in the forest........ And no one is there. ....                                 Will anyone hear it? Writing blog posts can feel like that at times...                                 If I write it...                                 Does anyone read it?                                 Should I bother, is it even worth it? Then I realized....a blog post is like a tree in the forest.   If it's been written, someone will read it and even if they don't leave a comment it's still be...
