Rest in Peace

This is our dog Copper pretending to be a cow this past winter. When Ana came home from work today he was playing with our other dog in the back yard. When Josh checked on them after work tonight he was dead. I have no idea what happened. Last month, while I was at the state convention, Josh let Daisy and her last remaining puppy play in the front yard. They took off an we have not seen them since. I have advertised and searched for them with no luck. She has gotten loose before but always came home after a couple of hours or less. I am sure that someone took them.

It has not been a good summer for dogs.

I am not feeling well at all.

Looks Like Jake is Ready for Summer

This is another old picture. Taken June 12 last year but I never posted it. I would say our corn was this tall around June 27 this year. Last year the corn got an early start thanks to a warm spring. This year it is behind due to the cold spring. The norm for our area is somewhere inbetween. Jake, by the way, came up with the title for this post when I took the picture last year. Jake is Always ready for summer.

New corn photos are forthecoming.

* Note: This is a completely untouched photo taken with my old Sony Ericsson phone.

Sunset

Taken facing northeast at sunset. This Picture is from spring 2007 and was taken with my old Sony-Ericsson phone with 2.0mp camera. Since then I have upgraded my phone twice and each time the quality of the camara has taken a step back. Disappointing to say the least. It is really getting in the way of photo-blogging.

Having a great time at the convention. I've met lots of fascinating people and the excitement here (80% of the delegates are for Obama) is very contagious. There are an amazing number of young people here and many of them have done an enormous amount of work to develop the great support Idaho has given Senator Obama.
