8/20:  My sister and her husband flew back home to Atlanta.  My hubby flew to Atlanta for work.  I did next to nothing that night after work.

Have you seen the rain evaporate before it lands? It’s called Virga. A common site here in Colorado. See pic above.

8/21: After work, I watered my neighbor’s plants while they are on vacation. Did some laundry, cleaning up around the house and cleaned the oven…I know you are jealous right now.  🙂

8/22:  I mowed the back yard after work and then played at least 20 games on the Sudoko app.  Never say I’m not exciting! 😉

Smoke from California fires cleared a little tonight.

8/24:  After work Dray and I went to see the movie, Beautifully Broken.  Our friend Caitlyn was starring in the movie.

So many hot air balloons!

8/25:  took the above picture on the way to body pump class. Laura, of Modern Sage Designs, attended body pump with me!  Dray and I had a sprinkler repair guy come to fix a few sprinkler heads and a leak.  Dray and I went to see the movie, Crazy Rich Asians.  It was entertaining and fun!

8/26:  Dray and I didn’t amount to much all day.  We hung out on the back deck and laid in the hammocks for the better part of the day.   Picture below taken from our even stroll.

And yes…we saw a snake on the trail.  I just about jumped into Dray’s arms!

8/29:  I met a new cousin for lunch.  She’s a new cousin because we didn’t know her mom was my mom’s sister due to adoption.  We just found out through DNA.

Hubby got home from a business trip. yay!  I met my neighbor’s 8 week old Labradoodle.

8/30:  After work hubby and I fed the horses nearby some apples.  Then we had the best sunset ever! See below pic.  I made lasagna and spaghetti sauce for Friday night dinner.
