With all that play during the last blog, it seemed like time for a little work. After bears have torn the doors off our shed over the past 10 years, time to repair them - no dog, no dog food, no bears ripping off the doors. Of course Don cheated, and hired the work out…
 |
| Now that's better... Then it was “free dump pass day” so we actually did do a little work and cleaned out the inside of both sheds and hauled a full pick up bed full of misc junk and damaged wood to the dump. |
 |
I continued to fit in some weaving (this time transparent woven hangings) to go over the glass block windows in AZ.
Two finished, 4 to go.

The crazy rainbow cactus we purchased in AZ about 5 years ago is blooming like crazy. Love those huge blossoms on that spindly cactus and look close 2 more are ready to pop.

Don helped drive for this weeks hike to Mossy Pond
just past Sterling Lake. After 25 highway miles, the 6 mile
scary dirt road took us about 1 and 1/4 hours
and the hike was only 4.31 miles.
|
 |
| Don found some geocaches (see him in the red shirt) |
 |
| And the group of 6 hikers headed out... |
 |
| Our first vista... |
 |
| followed by massive wild flower fields... |
 |
| with an easy going trail right thru the middle... |
 |
| then beautiful full "snow melt" ponds... |
 |
| and climbing over granite in search of the trail we lost... |
 |
| and finding it again. Whew!!! We decided to take a lunch break. Notice the large "tortoise " perched on top of the big rock just above center... ready to launch into "turtle pond" we just named it... |
 |
| The return trip provided more beautiful flowers, yellow arnica and indian paint brush. |
 |
| Margie and Don head out for another geocache... too bad it had been "muggled"... a geocaching term for "ripped off"!!! |
The next day when Don was "logging" his found geocaches he discovered that a new geocache had been planted at Sterling Lake yesterday, while he was sitting around waiting for us. From this satellite photo you can see that dirt rectangle above the dirt path down to the lake. Well, that was where the truck was parked, and, that little white box to the left of the parking area is where the geocache was placed... by 3 guys whom Don had watched set up their camp down by the lake. To bad he didn't continue to watch them, or talk to them, because he could have logged a "first to find”. And incidentally, he told me he wasn't going to go back this morning... or ever for that matter!!!
But, let's talk about the STYLE part of this blog...
 |
Kristine heads off to LA because daughter Cassie (KASS) and her trio of singing gals “Trinitii Girls” qualified as part of the top 30 for the new singing competition, Rising Star.

The show aired last Sunday. This week Sunday, June 29th on ABC “Trinitii Girls” will be among the group of 10 more of the 30 that qualified for the "live show". The program airs on Sunday nights - 9:00 p.m. on ABC. Check your local ABC listing for the time in your area. The last group of 10 qualifying vocalists will perform the following Sunday, July 6th. And then the "race" continues...
