Summer joys










I hope you don't get tired of my flower and garden pictures. Erica posted a picture a few weeks ago of Lulu, her assistant seamstress and as you can see, I also have a very dedicated tailor's assistant. Whatever in the world attracts the feline to the sewing table is beyond me, but every cat that I have belonged to (they pick you) has loved the paper patterns, the fascination of the moving needle and the soft fabric on which to nap. Really, it can be a nuisance and I always fear piercing a paw with the needle. Hojo took this opportunity to take a nap.
We were in Cheyenne yesterday to deliver more paperwork toward the purchase of our house.
We are not getting too excited as we know from experience that it may not take place. We have had the inspection here though so some things are happening. The other picture was taken near North Spring Creek when we were out camping last time is of shooting stars. Mother Nature at her best!! I love summer and am not looking forward to winter.
Centennial Wyoming, a small mountain town as you enter the Snowies, has a wonderful eating establishment known as the Corral. We stopped yesterday evening for a Buffalo burger and onion rings. This was a real treat for the palate. The new proprietors have had the place since December and it was our first stop this summer. Not a mistake!! As we continued along the winding mt. road we happened upon a pair of bull moose and as we were taking snaps, a doe deer and twin fawns entered the little grassy clearing and we were able to get a picture of the doe, one fawn and one bull in the frame. Will post them next and keep you posted on our continuing adventures of home progress.
