Gone Girl

Ah well, so much for beautiful Queen Anne's Lace blossoms; by my next walk, the blossom I admired and surrounding grasses had been mowed for hay.

Later, it was all baled up and gone to a barn somewhere.

On a bright note Keoni is back. Very nice to see him and catch up a bit on his month in D.C. There were plenty leftovers in the fridge from company visiting and he dug right in.

Aidan has been occupied in his dad's shop. The result is a crossbow.

Crossbow testing grounds off the back steps. The arrow went past the shed--it aimed left. He's made many modifications improving performance during these hot days that returned to us. 

Mostly, existence is about getting through the day's heat by staying occupied in front of fans which we have all over the place including the shop where Aidan labored.  It is beautiful out this morning and early temps were a welcome relief before the scorching starts. I hope it is decent enough to enjoy the Storm King Art Center.

Another evening a thundershower took place just before I took a walk.

The prolific green growth is alongside the "shoulder" of the road traversing Crooked Creek.
