BEFORE AUTUMN GETS HERE AND THE COLORS START CHANGING ON THE TREES

 Putting up a few photos I've taken over the last several weeks.  Summer isn't my favorite season but neither is winter.  I'm not complaining...well kind of... because I don't know about you but the UV index of the sun is so high even if it's just an 80 degree day when you are in the sun it feels a lot hotter.  We reached into the 90's this summer with humidity.  I felt like I was in Kansas again as a kid.  

This is our local lake which is about four or five blocks down the hill where we live.  We can hear every noise during the summer from the Air B&Bs to the bars we have in town with their music.  The swimming part of the lake is open from Memorial Weekend to Labor Day Weekend and then after that, just stays open a few weekends after that.  The fishing and boating can go on up until the snow falls.  

So this weekend, hurray~~or not....There will be crowds of people, no parking left anywhere for the swimming area  and on Monday an Anti Trump rally.  There are many scheduled in So Cal because there was an article on Social Media stating the 123 areas in California where protests will be held.  Our town was listed and is very small.  I have no idea what this is going to sound or look like.   Left or Right or inbetween there is no way in today's world I would attend a protest. 

So hope you all have a nice Labor Day Weekend.  I will be doing yard work, playing Rummicube, feeding birds, squirrels, raccoons and whatever else shows up for their snacks.  My food bill for the ferals is getting quite high every month, between the suet, peanuts, black oil sunflower seeds, and various other foods like peanut butter on toast that the Ravens love.
