Good Luck to Ray!

Mom and Dad with Hayden at Dad's retirement party. Always a favorite photo of mine. Happy birthday to Hayden on Monday.
 

What to Do When It's 100º

Get wet! Colin did mention he preferred jumping into the water but the pools are closed weekdays with all the guards in school.

 

Out of Order

This little library is out of order while it is repaired and restocked.
 

Last Blast

We were taking a photo to use next year to compare how tall they each stood in the water. Colin over estimated how far out he could stand up and still breathe. Then we adjourned to the barn for some Foosball.

 

The Change Is Starting

A glimpse of fall color displayed in this tree. Maybe it's a foreunner of a colorful fall.
 

Unseasonal, and Scary

This scary guy appeared across from Corinth Square. Seems a bit early.

 

Thank You, Dolly

Stacy stacked up all the books her kids have received through Dolly Parton's Imagination Library program. The library provided a free book once a month until age 5 to all kids who signed up. The program will live on, partly through donations like the recent $2 million donation from Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.
 

Serious Conversation

Dad and Stacy seem to be having a serious conversation. It would be fascinating to know what about.
 

Dirt Boy

Colin does love to play in the dirt but this time he managed to get it on his face.
 

Bright Start

A beautiful show by the early sun on clouds.

 

Enjoying the Hummingbirds

We have hummingbirds all summer and I spend time enjoying them but also trying to photograph them. The latter is a study in frustration. Howard captured this one.
 

Hedgehog Hair

The water gave Adam and Colin hedgehog hair.

 

Reflections

So tranquil.

 

Gnome Beach

So many gems when you go for a walk.

 

A Koala Hug

Hayden got to hold a koala while she was visiting Stacy in Australia.
