Ticket and I had some personal space/girl time away from the thugs boys and walked around our area yesterday.
She’s so different when all alone with me. Introspective in some ways. I wonder if she is relaxing in the differentness of the mood, or wondering why they aren’t here. Regardless, I know she is enjoying herself for all the uninterrupted meandering she does.
She does a lot of flitting about and smelling here and there so it is difficult to get a good photo of her unless she is focused on something.
So I focused myself on the flowers that were screaming to be photographed.
LOVE THESE BOOTS!! But alas, they belong to this little girl, and I don’t need a 6 year old girl pissed at me. So I didn't steal them.

That’s the perfectly delightful Brianne, Kelsie’s gorgeous daughter. She just learned to ride her 2 wheeler! Congrats Brianne...that's a huge accomplishment!
I had some extended family camping not far from here and they drove into Hope to visit with me for bit. Met them at our beautiful park downtown and took a few photos that I'll put up tomorrow, but here's one of Ticket that Wendy took with her phone.
K, I need a nice cuppa Red Rose. Hope you are enjoying today, it was super sunny and warm with a much loved gentle breeze. Perfect!

Yesterday I got a lot of these:

Wild Sweet Peas
There were pink ones
And white ones
Not sure what this one is…I used to know the name but my memory of it has gone blank!
These are wild snapdragons, sometimes called Monkey Flowers
I’ve never know the name of this one…maybe you do?
I have a HUGE Wild Pink Rose bush behind the house, in the early summer the smell is absolutely intoxicating. Here’s what they looked like a month or so ago:
and here’s the rose hips yesterday. I’ll be harvesting them after they go through one frost. Or when their stems are brown…whichever comes first. I know a couple of people that make jams and jellies out of them but I find it too bland, but they make a helluva great cuppa tea!
Queen Anne’s Lace
Last evening I visited with Kelsie…we had a couple cups of tea and chatted. Nice visit. As I was leaving I spied these boots!!
