first of summer, regardless, and although opinions of ‘summer’ may vary mine have ever begun
[at least since we moved to Solano County] with a last walk down along the water,
last stop in Fairfield [this year anyway]
and that last migration over the hill until the season’s end.
80 to, three hours later, 447,
Nixon and
north to
Gerlach and
Wall Spring, our governance of angry tweets and the ‘buse candles dominating the audio
much of the way, to be greeted by greenness,
rainbows
and rain on the barby.
Tuesday; our cheatgrass crop warms in the morning sun
and most of Day One, with rain on the tin [not shown] at the end.
Day Two, bright again,
a run in to the P.O.
and hail after noon.
Rain gone again, land perked up
and so unto dark.
By Wednesday for some reason Kim Jong Un has rejected the “Libya model” on offer from the idiots around the White House [give up your nukes then end dead in a ditch soon after, your country in chaos; what’s not to like?] and duly called them idiots, at which point Dump, liars being rather overly sensitive to the truth, haughtily pulls out of his fantasy “deal”. Imagine that.
Ah, the radio…accompaniment to watercolors and…sewing.

Michael, the entire structure of this entry makes one really experience not just the beauty of the landscape but its profound meaning to you. What’s in Wall Spring? Why go there every year? Questions answered profoundly here, and with welcoming rainbows to boot.
Add the call of those empty Western roads leading to distant promise, on which I too learned to drive.
Hey, you just made my day!
And glad of it, Fred! Hope your L.I. garden’s growing well.
I too was relaxing into a trip to Wall Spring and understanding how the destination really appeals. Such beautiful light and some superb images!! Loved the multiple rainbow one. I am here in Monterey trying to dry my wash outdoors on a grey windy day!
Grandson Keegan and I are wondering what kind of frog that is? And thanks for your wonderful posts, Michael
Bullfrog, my best guess [sure sounds like one] and thank YOU!
Absolutely the best-est…
The beauty that you experience and share with us is, with out a doubt, the penetrating/powerful medicine all of us lilliputians desire and require.
