Rascal Flatts Concert

The little cowgirl next to me would have loved this moment if we had been ones to go down front! It was fun - people could text things - and every once-in-a-while a few more would get invited down. Pretty cool!

Wind Circle of Life

Isn't this amazing? It's almost as if this little windmill had a dream about the future! 

Day one of the birthday escape held not only the wonders of a wind farm, but the secret hope of finding this scene.  My sweet K knew there was SOMEWHERE with a view like this, and I am so amazed we found it along the massive horizon of wind turbines.  AND what an interesting statement about our progress!  Finding new energy sources brings us right back to basic elements ... like wind.  What was once abandoned for more powerful resources has come full circle into a massive source of green energy. 

Our Own Private Show

Talk about a convenient way to enjoy fireworks! I believe 4 out of 5 years, I have spent the 4th of July right here ... in my driveway. It's never been an official party, but I'm beginning to think it would make a great location for one. What we really need is spinning chairs. Actually, I need a spinning chair with flexible camera mounts! Now that would be AWESOME. The dogs don't think it's as awesome as the people do. They get to stay inside with the lights on (below) while the world blasts away above their heads.

Fire From The Sky

What a treat!  I wish I had time to put an album together ... but for now, this will do.  It's my favorite photo of the night just because it's different.
