One can't go back to Manderlay

[rkold]

One can't change the past and so its important to always work and hope for a more positive future.

So with that note...

The most amusing thing from my time in Utah. XD;;


My in-laws and husband decided to do their yearly trip out to Angel's Landing. Between the 95+ degreee heat (dry heat does not help!) and the fact I can not physically complete Angel's Landing because I can not do the last bit because of my fear of heights it seemed to dumb to do it again. I remember last year I had a hard time just coming back down from some parts because of the drop offs you can see even though your chances of falling from that part are pretty slim. So instead I went off on my own to do the walk to the Narrows and to think about hiking some of the Narrows. Unfortunately, I learned that while Crocs are very comfy and great for walking in the water, crocs and slippery wet rocks==bad combination. It also didn't help that along with the carrying the Yos I had my mother in law's book she had forgotten on the bus. >>;; the water was also freezing!


The start of the Narrows, enjoy the fact I still need to figure out how to compensate for a mix of darkness and bright light


Usually the water is very blue so the brown color means there was a flash flood not so long ago somewhere up canyon.






Suzaku was quite excited that Lelouch and Gino showed him the Britannian Southwest. Thanks again for the pants cc_lemon Suzaku loves them in white ♥


Gino comes up to join him.


Sadly Suzaku does not look that cross-eyed in person >>;;


Poor Lelouch couldn't manage to make it up the small hill to join Gino and Suzaku






Yeah for pictures from inside a car racing at 65 mph


Me, on a horse with the husband and in-laws. The bags are over the horse's mouths so they don't snack during the hike on the desert sage.





The impatiens have totally taken over


The tiny plants in this picture are 4 future beets and a weed or two XD;


The green beans and the peas along with my tiny cauliflower. >>;


The green beans before my harvest


The basil, arugula, cilantro and my two tiny corns that are so not going to make it lol


2 of my amazing hydrangea which managed to survive the housework!


Is it just me or is this a strawberry???? I totally did not plant it.


poison ivy gone! and all the other overgrown stuff back there O_o


The very trimmed back hydrangea which came with the house. I'm hoping they were not trimmed back too much since I love them.


The gardener came up with the brilliant idea to put the wood pile next to the garage in our newly cleaned out space. Wheeeee!


This will eventually be grass, hopefully


Wow, we have a flagstone patio! O_O



And cause I suck one more uncut picture. :P


My harvest for today from my garden! :D I grew the radish, arugula, and beans from seed. The basil, cilantro and tomato are from seedlings. But still, go me! :D

Thanks, I'm rather excited. I'm planning to make a stir fry with the beans and some peppers I got from my CSA ♥
