It's a quiet morning after a jam-packed few days. John arrived and we're hanging out at the house and around town. I invited some neighbors over later this afternoon.
The girls are going to Wentachee overnight on a school shopping trip with their friends, staying in a motel with a swimming pool. They are very excited, Maya most of all, because she is getting her ears pierced on Saturday. She was supposed to wait until she was 10, like Nova, but the nagging must have paid off. Ha ha.
We might even get some welcome rain tonight and tomorrow. The smoke situation has improved and I've had the windows open all week, although it changes hour-to-hour depending on the wind.
I've enjoyed watching the wildlife as always. The turkey family kids are almost grown up. Turkeys must be excellent parents, because they've all made it to the teenage stage. There's also a big bevy? of quail running around in that comical way, like they don't know where the heck they're going.
The river is about as low as it gets. You could almost, but not quite, wade across in places. Don't try it, Maya, says Nana.
