Sawyer and I spend a lot of time together in the yard and garden. He enjoys helping me weed and water and we can wile away many hours puttering around. It has been particularly rewarding as the fruit of our efforts has begun to come in. He has been eating tons of raw beans and snow peas right off the vine and is devouring the zucchini breads that keep coming out of the oven. We are looking forward a tomato deluge in the next month. Here are some picks from our time together and our garden.
The last time I was here was 1989. It was the year my brother headed off to college and we took a trip out west to Yellowstone and the Tetons before dropping him off in Boulder. It was also the year after the historic Yellowstone fire. I remember walking through a skeleton of a forest with a floor of wildflowers. Well, the landscape has proven resilient. 
I will update the blog this week. I promise. We have had a wonderful July but have been so busy that getting our photos out of the camera, onto the computer, edited, and up on the blog just hasn't quite happened.
