August Days!

This is the time of year (besides the Fall) when you will see lots and lots of yellow everywhere. Thanks to the monsoon rains and good old summer warmth. August is one of the most beautiful months up here. The photos show the meadows are carpeted with little yellow flowers...the natural sunflowers are scattered around our yard, just smiling for their pictures to be taken...they actually look happy! I also took a picture of Jeff cleaning out his steam engine before a steam up. Yep...that is black soot blowing out of the front of the engine. A photo opportunity. Finally the kids and Jeff next to the engine, on this beautiful August day.
