Now that the gas is back on, I can bake stuff... like rolls.

The butterflies were still out in the clover today.

There were a lot of butterflies in the hayfield. They seemed to really like the clover.

Finally getting our well cleaned out. Hopefully our gas will stay on for a long time now... or we'll be out in a couple weeks.

My oldest and youngest and I went balloon chasing again this year. Last year the balloons headed south, this year they went west-northwest. We ended up running around in a park trying to find a clearing to see them better. There was a fence stopping us from getting to the lake though, so we heard the balloons more than we saw them.

Watching the parade. The kids usually end up with quite a bit of candy.

We forgot this was picture day. He called me at 7:52 to say so. I had to bring in the money, but he didn't have time to change clothes. So his class photo this year is in a plain green T-shirt.

Gas station, in the rain. It's probably safe to assume that 10 years from now we'll look at the price of gas on those pumps and say "Wow, gas was cheap back then!" But right now, those prices hurt!

Other side of yesterday's boxcars. We rode down the bike trail, and these are parked along the trail. They're larger than I expected, especially these two yellow ones, which are taller than the other two behind me.

Box cars parked on a rail line near school.

Our dwarf pear tree finally has pears... and they're red. Going to have to figure out what kind that is, since I can't remember what it was.
