Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park, as viewed from an overlook I apologize for not commenting on your blog posts this past week; John and I took a vacation to Yellowstone National Park, leaving behind our computers and, to a large extent, cell phone service. We escaped the outside world and just spent time in nature. Though we have friends near Yellowstone (who we love to visit) we made this trip just about us, so please forgive us if we were nearby and didn't stop by. The crowds were minimal (though we did mask up whenever we passed someone on the trails) and we spent our days hiking, taking photos, and watching geysers erupt. Today, we are back home and back to work, and, in the case of my computer, back to old shenanigans like not letting me import my photos. (I was able to add the above photo by using blogger on my phone, but that isn't my preferred method.) I want to write about Yellowstone and have photos I want to share, but will leave that for another...

ReplyDeleteOh, good! I wish there was a way to really transmit smell through the computer screen!
Deleteexcellent lions (at the door)*
ReplyDeleteas a proper library should, fireplace and bookcases!
* really like the porch itself, the rough-stone very attractive
Thanks, Clark. The lions remind me of Patience and Fortitude, the lions outside the New York Public Library.
DeleteGood to see a photo of a cat with hair on your blog. :)
ReplyDeleteTee hee!
DeleteYour lilacs are so beautiful? Are you able to grow them where you are? They won't grow here and I have only found them at the florist once -- I can still smell them! They were my favorite growing up.
ReplyDeleteYes, lilacs do grow here. At least theoretically. I see them all over, but mine seem to grow well for a while then die. I'm crossing my fingers that I can get some established enough to bloom!
DeleteThat is the most beautiful calico I've ever seen! (Sorry, Ruby!) Love the laughing girl, too! I wish I had a lilac bush. My great aunt had a ginormous one outside her kitchen (easily 10 feet tall with a girth to match). Someone told her eggshells were good for lilacs, so every time she used eggs, she tossed the eggshells under the bush. Maybe it worked.
ReplyDeleteShe was a beautiful cat, but wasn't the friendliest. I was a bit scared of her, to tell the truth. :-)
