Five weeks and growing...... Ashlee has gained a couple pounds and is still petite but so alert. And she has a wardrobe that all of us girls can envy......!
I'm trying out some new golf balls. Around here, the Magna Calloway's are gaining in popularity. Some say they don't go as far.....other's say they sit higher in the rough. My opinion is still being formed. The one on the right is the Magna and is just a tad bigger.
We wandered over to Black Canyon . This National Park is not as well known but gaining in popularity and was busy on the day we explored. It is only about 30 min from us. We took the winding 16% grade road down to the bottom of the canyon to hear the well informed ranger. She gave a talk on the history of the tunnel that was chiseled through about 6 miles of rock in the early 1900's to irrigate the Uncompaghre Valley that we live in. Without this water from the Gunnison River, we would be a high desert valley with no agriculture and certainly no golf courses.
Meanwhile, the water has given us our beautiful roses and peonies and my favorite hosta.
The summer solstice brought snow to our beautiful San Juans. Unusual for late June but this has been a strange season. Tomorrow, Andy and Mason join us and we look forward to some golf, lots of pickle ball, concerts in the mountains, a bit of hiking and more fun stuff.....And many trips to the market to feed teenage appetites.
That baby is adorable! Have fun with your Grands. I wondered if you had gotten the snow after the solstice. We had a 2 day storm. (Melted now at our house, thank goodness!)
