Hot Summer Days ended rather abruptly at the beginning of this week. I’m not sure what happened but it sure feels like fall is in the air. Here are a few images from last week!
Homemade peach and almond sorbet
Amaryllis are supposed to bloom in the winter. I’ve never been real good at managing them.
I welcome this flower anytime of the year.
My friend brought me fifty ears of super sweet corn from the Basin!
Most of it went in the freezer. Now I wish for more!
Biggest news last week was the big lightning storm that shut off the power one evening and then when everyone was wondering what to do, the light was Wonderful! And the Rainbows were Remarkable! Other than that, just a few summer scenes from the past week.
Some of our friends are in the local marimba band. They performed at the Twisp Farmers Market.
This group is very together.
Nancy raps out the lead
Linda is very focussed.
Chokecherries are getting ripe!
Just had to slip in a black and white image, despite the vibrant colors of summer.
At agility practice, Frida and Trip are very focussed on whatever it is that Marti is holding.
And Marti, how could you resist Frida?
Jane seems indifferent
Pie cherries! They are in the dehydrator right now!
And a parting shot of the rainbows following the storm.
It’s hard to believe that July is already more than half over. Before we know it, fall will be here and we will be thinking about skiing again! But for now, the weather is very summery. Hot days interupted by exciting thunder storms. The storms have produced quite a bit of rain and even hail. The rain’s been good for garden crops; the hail is probably hard on the fruit trees.
Grass seedheads are starting to dry and turn gold.
Serviceberries are very ripe. Our dogs enjoy a serviceberry snack on a walk.
Sockeye salmon season is in full swing on the Columbia. Here Ken is showing off a fillet from one of the beautiful fish he caught this week. This fish is sushi quality.
The tourist town of Winthrop is full of dogs and kids and others seeking respite from either the heat or the thunderstorms or looking for refreshment and shopping opportunities!
Lots of motorcycles in town too. The Rhythm and Blues Festival is this weekend.
Winthrop reflection
At home, raspberries need to be picked, again.
First canned food of the summer
And look! The first ripe tomato!
