Finishing up my barns from my trip to Colorado and Utah in April (here were more barns, as well as just last Sunday.)
These two outcrops were between Monticello and Moab UT, before getting to the Arches National Park!
Can you imagine being a farmer with that structure off in the distance above your fields?

And a happy Fathers's Day to all the fathers who no longer receive ties for birthdays/Christmas and Father's Day. In my childhood we could even give white handkerchiefs to our father. Mmm, wonder if anyone sells them! At least the people on TV often wear ties. Now I wonder if any of my sons have any...perhaps a few for wearing to weddings and funerals.

My father's life has been covered over on my Ancestry blog. So I'll add a post today about another father. Three Family Trees.
My ex in the middle with our two sons as fathers and my oldest granddaughter (way back when!)

I imagine that there is a tie somewhere in my closet. I guess I donned a bow tie for that gay wedding that I attended last fall, which came from my daughter's gay wedding almost 20 years ago. As for a regular tie, I just don’t know when I last wore one. As I contemplate ties, they do seem like a rather odd accessory. It’s just gone 5 this morning, and I am rambling. 🤓
ReplyDeleteHappy father's tieless day! It's great that you all support your gay daughter! 20 years ago being married! I went back to sleep at first light (6ish) and dosed till 7:30. 5 doesn't sound all that bad either.
Delete...Utah sre is a lush place! The scenery has drama, but I'm glad to live where it rains. Thanks Barbara for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHandkerchiefs seem to come out of the woodwork ready for giving at Xmas! As if they aren't needed all year round.
ReplyDeleteThose western landscapes are spectacular. I remember well the impression they made the first time I travelled in that area.
ReplyDeleteThose skies!!!! Gorgeous and full of hope and promise.
ReplyDeleteThose little gypsies are lucky!!!
