The viola case box


Got a new viola case.
Toby got the box.
The box is 34" long.
Somewhere there's a jingle ball. 
Found the jingle ball. 
Hey, You with the Thumbs, how about throwing it?

Toby at 11 months and 2 days

We had a photo session this morning.

MUST ATTACK TAIL
Ow. Maybe that was "must wash tail."
 Well, what are YOU looking at? '
It's not as though I had a TOY, hint hint.
 Dignity. Alllllllways dignity.
 MUST EAT LION
GNAW GNAW GNAW
(I still can't get over how tiny that lion seems now. 
Toby continues to have growth spurts and I'm betting he's around, or over, 9 pounds.)
The lion has been subdued.
(Toby then proceeded to attack my ankles, and there aren't photos of that.
Please pass the alcohol swabs and silver solution.)

Iris after rain

The day after heavy rains, just before dawn. 







Fresh snow on the mountains at dawn

Not enough to fix the water problems, but beautiful all the same.
I love the horizontal lines of light and shadow.
Click on a photo to see it larger.

Iris season

The garden is a mess. I used to keep it weed-free and have hand pain all summer. Then came the summers of 2016 (taking care of a sick person) and 2017 (raising Toby). This year I'm taking the advice of the bodywork guy and limiting my weeding. The garden is a mess. It's still beautiful. It's a beautiful mess.



















There's nothing like a backlit bearded iris. They glow.
