Tuesday Travels - Monument Rocks, Kansas
Monument Rocks was SO MUCH FUN. It is on private property in Western Kansas and requires driving on dirt roads with a boatload of dirt and dust trailing you and covering everything about and in your car. But the roads are easily traversed even with a little Ford Fusion. We got there early in the morning and had the place to ourselves. 2025

Friday's Love Song - Carolina in my Mind by James Taylor
Going to take on love of home for a few Fridays. There were days back in Brisbane when I'd sing this song and miss my home in Carolina. This performance not only honors Carolina, but is filmed at Blossom Music. Cleveland. Another of my favorite places.
Summer on Harrison - Bonus
You might have thought that I would have heard this - our beloved crabapple tree ripping itself in two - or being torn apart by some force super- or some-other natural - but it came as a great surprise when I went out on Tuesday to find an enormous and outwardly healthy limb lying across the backyard and peeking into my bedroom window. Obviously, it wasn't inwardly healthy. Still, unlike a significant portion of its brethren, it still had a full leaf complement and tiny crabapples (crabapplettes?) Gosh.

Folks all around town started shooting off fireworks. Boom. Boom. POP POP POP. After listening while lying in bed for a bit, I got up to look out my window. Wow! Firebursts of red flowers. Quick grab the camera. Here's the shot! The booms. The pop pop pops continued but nothing overcame the tree line again. Just ominous glowing behind the landscape. (You can see that on my camera's live function images - those mini videos. But I haven't figured out how/if I can post them.) Happy Independence Day from and to Versailles.
