Summer is Finally Over!
This has been such a year so far.  The drought has hit our place with a vengeance.  The pastures are dead and I have no idea if they will recover and if they will how long it will take.  Of course we are still in the grip of the drought with no end in sight.
On the bright side my husband and I went to his 50th high school reunion in Bellevue Washington.  The weather was cool with some rain on Sat night.  Friday we drove around Bob's childhood neighborhood.  The landscapes were so lush and green.  I think the pictures will tell it all.  So here is a treat for those of you who have nothing but brown to look at.









I thought this planter was unique.  It was made of metal but looked so much like terracotta. 

 Do you remember what this green stuff is? In case you don't it is grass.
 This is looking out over Lake Sammamish on Sunday afternoon.  It wasn't really cold but the drizzle was so nice to feel on our skin.
