Summer in Eastern Oregon

Time to take a deep breath, leave the problems of the Church to the care of the Holy Spirit, and enjoy God's creation for a moment or two!

We had some very cool weather up until a week ago - highs in the 60's. Rainy, too.

Then we had some very hot days (like most of the West, I guess), hitting 100 degrees (not a common occurrence here).

Here are some scenes from around the county:

Wild iris? Out in the woods

Out and about on one of those cool, rainy days

 Scenes from around our house:

Sitting on the front porch, looking at the clouds;
that's the horse barn in the lower portion.

Sitting on the front porch, enjoying the grassy expanse.
Never mind the brown spots...that happens every year.

My prettiest rose!

A tomato is actually growing!

 

I like petunias. They are so accommodating. And most of
these have sprouted from seeds dropped by
last year's plants.
