Update about blog

August 8th sunset over Hogback Ridge and Heron Peak. Durango CO with air quality warnings of "ozone" or possibly smoke from wildfires. I kept the windows closed.

Utah barns and fathers

 Finishing up my barns from my trip to Colorado and Utah in April (here were more barns, as well as just last Sunday.)


Monticello UT




Soon we were seeing different structures on the side of the road...



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!)

Today's quote:

When we endlessly ruminate over distant times, we miss extraordinary things in the present moment. These extraordinary things are, in actual fact, all we have: the here and now.
