Change is in the Wind

It feels like the weather is changing...hmmm What's new about that?
No it really feels like the season is changing. Flocks of birds line the overhead wires and tops of trees, leaves seem to be showing up on the lawn (which is still crispy) and the temperature has dropped (a little).

Life is changing...hmmm What's new aboout that?
I think it really is..a life season is changing and I need to think about what that means.  Some of the signs are there and if I choose not to notice them someone always seems to point one out.
If rain falls I go inside or stand with the door open and watch.  I can't change it. I just feel what it's doing and wait to see the result. 
No harm in that.

Tomorrow the sun will shine and I will see that too. And drink in the warmth if I can, if I'm ready.
I'm watching.
Hmmm What's new about that?

90 degrees seems alot cooler than it used to!

It is still too hot to spend much time outside. (As in more time than it takes to go from one air conditioned building to the next)  The temperature has dropped into the 90's with heat indeces hovering around 100. I am grateful that it is cooler less hot!
It would be nice to go fishing...in Alaska!

I promised some more photos of the mountains and am hoping that they will bring at least a mental breath of cool air with them. Thank goodness for air conditioning!

The first herd of elk we saw must have had at least 100 in it. It was near the summit in Rocky Mountain National Park. As we came out of the park there were other herds but not nearly so large-the elk were bigger but the numbers fewer!

These quilts were on display at the Art Museum on campus at BYU.

I didn't know we weren't suppose to take pictures-I even looked for some notification...so until I used a flash which had the unexpected result of producing an usher/security guard-I snapped a few. There were other quilts that were more notable in the display but I thought I was going to get a photo of all of them and wasn't really paying attention to the order I took the photos.

As you can see in this 'detail' photo, the applique and dimension to the quilt is from men's ties! It was quite clever.

'My, how you've grown since we were last at the condo' :)

A familiar phrase around there but this is just a little trick photography.

These aren't-he really is doing pull ups on the loft floor!

Down to the valley floor from the condo was sort of a temperature shock but as we climbed up into the Uintah's we all gave a collective sigh of relief...except Dad-he complained that we were freezing his ears off when we rolled down the windows!

This wasn't the lowest the temperature got on the way to the cabin but Mr. College Freshman chided me for taken pictures of the temperature :)

Who cares?-it's digital!

The week at the cabin begins!
