The 4th of July in Twisp is always a fun day. First, there is the parade and immediately following that, there is the Arts Fest in the park sponsored by Methow Arts. Both are fun, family friendly events. The parade featured horses, search and rescue folks, firefighters, librarians, fire trucks, political candidates, candy and lots more.

Photos of Arts Fest can be seen here.

June 25 and what have I done this month? One hike. Two sets of visitors. Designed the cover for Ken’s soon-to-be-released CD. Walked my dogs. Two weddings that you can see here and here. Time flew by and now it’s nearly July.

We had one week of hot weather and then it returned to often windy and cloudy and even some good June rains. The grasses on our hill are taller than the dogs. Lupine continues to bloom along with the beautiful mariposa lilies that I cannot quit photographing. Bluebirds and swallows have fledged. A raven family spent a couple of weeks terrorizing the nesting birds. I do admire ravens but really I wish they did not eat eggs and other baby birds. Smokejumpers from the airport across the valley trained in the hot weather and in the windy weather.
