around here

yesterday morning we had a gloriously cloudy sky.
all week temperatures will be in the 70's.
basking in this temporary fall weather.

happy tuesday.
it's a good day,
wouldn't you say?

i feel like singing...wishing dear friends were close by

when vacationing at a beautiful lake that used to be a beautiful canyon...

01. wear a big hat at all times, and cover your skin in that
sunblock that isn't full of ingredients that harm you or the environment.
keep it clean, please.
and stay far, far away from anything resembling a sunburn.

02. notice that blue and orange and green really do
go together quite nicely.

03. call dibs to sleep on top of the hot tub on top of the houseboat
to watch shooting stars all night long.

04. embrace the "death march" by bringing lots of water,
and wearing that giant hat you're supposed to wear at
all times.

05. remember to stop and look up.

06. remember to look down before the mud
demands you slip in its mess.

07. desert varnish. so cool.

08. try to get on the ski boat with the 6 a.m.ers
to see the sun rise over the cliffs.

09. take note on how big and blue the sky is here.

10. watch the wind blow the water to and fro
as the boat bobs up and down, back and forth.
