Up the creek
Here are some views along the banks of Sweetwater Creek, shot in late April and mid May 2020.
Memory Monday slide redux, Week 3
This week I thought I’d share a few family pictures; some of these I’ve shared before, but I think they look better this time around! I’ve arranged them in more or less chronological order to show some of the changes we’ve gone through over the years.

Poppy days
