Sigh ... It's July!

A little more time at home to read and recover from jarring my back out of alignment in a fall just before the last trip to Arizona.

A deer rested one morning in the tall grass beside the creek that runs along the side of our yard.

The fawns and baby ducks are growing...

... and a Bald Eagle stood sentinel in a tree across the creek, harrassed by a couple of crows.

I enjoyed 4th of July festivities in the Falls where the fish were biting busily as usual at the church's Kids' Fishing Booth.

We saw our friend Molly in her new apartment in Rochester, along with some amazing clouds announcing a brief, strong storm.

As sabbath rest time comes to a close we celebrated 34 years of marriage ("it only feels like 32!") ...

... and we were gifted with more gorgeous July sunsets on Rainy River.
