We live California’s Central Valley and today it’s hot, hot, hot! No boxes in the immediate area so carving right!? We are currently in a couple of trackers so it’s a good time to catch up. But...

Nothing is turning out OK. Grrr. Do you ever have one of those days? I have good transfers. I didn’t pick an image that I thought was too intricate. I’m being patient. But nothings coming out right.

Oh well, keep at it...

Aww ... sorry. Do love the images? I find if I don't love the image then I can't carve it.

Our weather on the other hand is gorgeous today. We spend some time at the lake in between chores. Ahhh!! MN summers!!

With 10,000 to choose from, why would you do anything else?? 😉

Yes, Minnesota summers, much like Utah summers. The one advantage of the hot part of the summer is NO MOSQUITOS! (At least until the sun goes down.)

No, I've never been to Minnesota, though I may have flown over the very southern part of it on my way to Chicago. I get to imagine the cooler weather you are experiencing there right now, and "Wish I was there."

My parents and my bother and I lived in Sandy Utah when I was young. I have memories of it. Not many but some. My parent on the other hand have many memories and one thing they say often is that Sandy Utah had the best weather out of all the places we lived.

As far as right now in MN we have had lots of rain so the mosquitoes are numerous and strong!

Sandy is nice and sandy.

I live within a mile of a marsh. When it is cool enough we get mosquitoes.
