Thirty One

 Celebrating 31 years together is a happy thought!

We have been craving time in our favorite place, Jackson Hole.  

But since we can't be there we decided to take an evening 

float in the canoe ... in our pretty little valley.

 The dragon flies were fluttering everywhere at Cutler Marsh.  

Such pretty little things.  They are said to represent:

* Mind
* Dreams
* Balance
* Thoughts
* Awareness
* Living to the fullest

Sounds just like a marriage, doesn't it?

 The Marsh is pretty much right out in the center of the Valley.  Had we been floating in the morning

hours, we could have some pretty spectacular shots of the Wellsvilles.  Maybe next time.

 We do live a very glorious place.  Even the Marsh is pretty and peaceful.

 We had hoped to view lots of various birds, but I think they all migrated last week!

These beauties were spotted as we were driving north to dinner.

 I wouldn't mind this view out my back window.

 The simple things like the smell of freshly cut hay.

 Dinner was delightful.  A perfect day.

We'll just keep looking for the silver linings.

Mark had been tinkering in his shop last week and this is what he whipped out!

What a sweet gift! I made Apple Crisp for him ;)

Happy Anniversary to us!  We feel very blessed.
