still blooming

steve headed up friday to do some exploring & some work on the house. i came up sunday evening, for the carole king/james taylor concert in sun valley on monday night.

the field behind the house is full of wildflowers

lupine

we took a hike monday morning. this is the same one the women went on last week- about 3.6 miles, good because there's water for the dogs the whole way.

there were butterflies everywhere- even on echo for a while

geranium and potentilla

 some sort of berry- we'll see in a month or so

cow parsnip

 halle enjoying the stream

horsemint

 not sure what this tree is, but it had a sweet fragrance 

skunk cabbage

 pentstemon

and then monday night,  a beautiful setting for a concert- and carole king & james taylor put on a great show-

sunrise this morning- hay being cut & baled all over the valley this time of year

steve stayed around today & got the door in the master bath hung and more baseboards painted, cut & attached.

back to work tomorrow, more to come in the next few weeks.
