Well, it is actually a park, but it is so very wooded that coming from sagebrush and greasewood, it certainly feels like the woods. This park, Mission Creek Park, which nearly joins our daughter's home has so many trees, ferns, berries and flowers. Nearly every day we have walked the winding paths with our dogs. They love it! For the most part it is shaded and today a group of children, accompanied by two adults passed by the house and trekked through the park, returning an hour or so later. The group consisted of about 20 children perhaps about 8 or 9 years old and a smaller group of 8 that were younger...each hanging on to a rope and all were carrying water bottles. I am reminded that as we are waiting to get into a home, August is almost upon us and school will soon begin. But for the present, the children are riding their bikes, and walking their dogs, and the adults are running or a taking a lazy stroll. Soon school will be starting and fall will be close behind.
As for the house situation, everything is progressing very well. The appraisal came in higher than we expected (that's good for us) and our realtor is requesting a duct cleaning be done, by the sellers which has been agreed upon. So barring anything else, we hope to close earlier than planned.
I walked the dogs around the block a couple of nights ago. This little buck was quietly watching us stroll by and they are so accustomed to people that they ignore everyone. The does are dropping their babies and we have seen quite a few of those fawns, even some twins. We have had hardly any rain and the temperature has been cool at nights and in the 70's and a few low 80's during the day. We have enjoyed the lush "green" everywhere and the critters like the deer here.
