Just visiting
Goldie stopped by for a visit this morning and to take time to sniff the petunias.

Fire!
"There's a fine golden haze on the meadow..."
But wait! This isn't Oklahoma and that haze off toward Mingus Mountain isn't golden. It's wood smoke.
There's a 400 acre fire burning up on top of the mountain, in the Prescott National Forest. Forest Service officials have been letting the fire burn as it is in a region marked for treatment, i.e. controlled burning.

Meantime, as a former colleague of mine used to write in any story about forest fires . . . "smoke will settle in low-lying areas as temperatures cool after sundown."

Family & Friends
We've just had a busy (and fluid) weekend as two of our grandchildren showed up on Saturday. They are Christina and Lesly.
The BRD apparently was casting a spell here.
Sunday brunch at Casa Bonita and Lesly had her hair down.
While Christy got surprised by the camera.
Outside, J'Norm . . . the BRD's beau . . . was on his way to a classic car show with her and showing off a little car glamour of his own: his Shelby Cobra.
Regular readers of this blog may recall that J'Norm (he can't decide whether his name is Jack or Norm so the BRD created this combo) also has a GTO while the BRD has an '83 Porsche and an '83 Mercedes.

At long last . . .
. . . a new look to my blog.
I don't know whether it will bring any new thoughts. Doubtful.
I just decided I didn't like my photo. Too gray.
And, while it was a beautiful photo of Smoke, I've decided to give him a rest.
My photo, incidentally, was taken near the water in Ensenada, Mexico a few years ago. The banner photo came from our very own sky one night this summer.
For some odd reason, Blogger a few weeks ago began refusing my commands to make the text bigger. I don't know why. I don't know how to get back to the way it was. If anyone can help me with that, just let me know.
I guess that's all for now.
