I'm sure everyone has been wondering where I've been. I've been at our local powwow. I was chosen this year to be the MC of our event. It's always special but to be the MC makes it even more special to me. Thanks to the Midnight Sun Intertribal Powwow First Council for this honor. Here is a picture of the lodge after we got it set up the day before the event.
I was taking pictures downtown on the 4th of July for the Native Veterans Association I belong to and of some of our participants in the parade. The Soldiers in front of the Striker have recently return from Iraq.
We lost the little female that was born this spring out on the road I'm sorry to say. Here is the last couple of photographs I got of her. It really saddens me, I miss her antics in the yard and her voice when I walk out to the green house where she had taken up residence. If I could stop them from crossing the road I would.
This old boy has taken Fatboy's place. Fatboy was a squirrel who I named that and he owned the west side of the lot. He went missing last year but has left a legacy. This fellow has taken his place, and is almost as chunky as he was.
I was sitting here yesterday with the back door open and evey once in a while the breeze would drift in just loaded with the smell of wild roses. Oh so sweet. Summer is grand.
This is the 3 year in a row that the Spruce Bud Worm Infestation has attacked my Spruce Trees, I'm afraid it's to late for most of them. They are all starting to die. I'll show you a picture of the infestation and they I'll get another of one of the beautiful spruces that has died because of it and post it on another post.
