Here is Bucky our little pony saying I am a wonderful happy little horse and that makes me a winner.  So I'll just stretch out here and roll and roll and scratch my back.  Winner winner

ECHINACEA

 The echinacea, also known as purple coneflower, is a flowering plant in the daisy family. It commonly grows in wooded areas and prairies in North America.

What makes the echinacea plant unique is the fact that you can use every single part of it. Its flowers, stem, petals, and roots all have extracts that can be used in supplementation and medication

Sweet little Bunny was in the yard.  Our dog just watches the bunnies but doesn't chase them

This bat was hanging under the eaves of the front porch.

Baby chickies---aren't they sweet

HOT!

Well it's been hot here---at least hot for us out this way.  89 degrees F today with the air filled with smoke from all the wild fires --Washington, Oregon, California and now Montana and other places too.  into the 100's F tomorrow

This is this mornings' sky-----7:30am 

Hot and smoky and it was hard to breathe---for me anyway

TREES

 Took a ride up in the mountains---thank goodness they are pretty close.  We went up Baker Lake road along side Mt. Baker.  No Snow but lots of trees.

Mt. Baker, Baker Lake and Lake Shannon, Mt. Shuksan and again Mt. Baker

Interesting floral stuff.  Famous mountain Blueberries, Fireweed and another fireweed I thought was interesting and a nodding grass seed head

More trees

Notice hardly any snow on the mountain. Yes we are experiencing a drought

BLUE

 Took a run up to the backside of Mt. Baker.  We see the mountain every day but we see the west side of the mountain with a big bite out of her but we went to the east side and the view is different and the skies were so blue.

This first picture of Mt. Baker is the view we see every day. 

The rest are pics taken yesterday.  We have had so many days of very blue blue sky.  Some pics a little hazy because of the wildfires elsewhere.

Mt. Baker with the lovely turquoise Baker Lake below. 

The great trail through the woods

Peek-a-boo

Mt. Shuksan with not much snow

 And there she is with not bite out of her
