As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He 

removed our transgressions from us. Psalm 103:12 

  The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. Isaiah 40:8

 Pr 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?

 If you're like me and take pictures of everything...maybe you'll like these snapshots. 

 Cool picture...for those that live in the west :)

Barbed wire, for various reasons...

Glorious Sunset~ Post by Niki

 The view from our house. It is getting dark around 7:30pm here. Partly from all the smoke from the fires. 

 View from Shearer/Plank intersection. Notice in the above photo how high the sun is from the foothills,  then look in this photo. 

Yellow Clouds... 

This is how much haze there is...right after the sun disappeared. You can barley make out the foothill. 

Sorry about the condition of this photo. I just thought i'd post it anyway.

Apples & Stuff

     We've got Gus the bus all unloaded.. & have been working at putting all the stuff from our "house on wheels" away into our "house" this week.  It's amazing how much STUFF we have!! My brain is in overload right now, because I want to simplify & go through all of our things to see what we really need (think-garage sale).  But first I have to put all the stuff away or I can't function in the clutter.  I know, because I tried it first,you know, going through the kitchen cupboards before I put things away from the bus and it was disaster.  Soo, I'm thinking it will take longer than I think to go through stuff. About to get it all put away!

     It's apple harvest here in the Yakima valley!  We went and gleaned apples off the ground because the pickers haven't finished picking the trees yet.  The trees were loaded with huge apples!  I'm not sure you can see how big they are by the pictures, but I tried to give something to compare.  These are honeycrisp apples, delicious!!

Rows of apples-Aspen eating & Shane picking them up

Picked a couple buckets full off the ground & they are sooo good! 

We Are Home!

We made it home late Sunday night. Hunter is having a blast! Checking out new things & playing in the sandbox...Never anywhere w/out his hat!! (except to eat & sleep)
