Hi!

I swear I haven’t quit blogging…I’ve just been outside so much and I can’t bring myself to sit inside on the computer. We had friends visiting and we’ve been traveling, camping, hiking, horseback riding, working, planting etc. I’ve been taking lots of photos and I’m working on starting my own photography business. Life has been busy and fun!
Our summers aren’t as long as our winters, but when summer hits, it’s so nice that I have to get outside and soak up every ounce of it! I do miss reading all of your blogs and I try to get on once a week and get caught up. I feel so behind! It’s nice to read that everyone is enjoying their summers and see all the photographs of your beautiful gardens.

This weekend we have Chief Joseph Days. It’s quite a deal in the little town of Joseph. Tuesday afternoon there is a horse run down the middle of town (cowboys run a large herd of horses down main street), a children’s parade on Friday and the main parade on Saturday which I actually get to ride my horse in. I joined a small drill team and we will be doing cute, easy drills through the whole parade. I’m very excited! I have a petite, pretty Arabian named Selina and I’ve always wanted to ride her in a parade. Sounds corny, but we get glitter hooves and all!
Starting Thursday, the rodeo starts and goes through Saturday. I’ll make sure to get lots of photos!
Anywho…I haven’t fallen off the planet and I’ll be back in fall with loads of pictures and stories to share.
I promised to put up some photos of the new house a month ago. Check them out here.
