WEEDS?, BEAR LAKE & WHAT A POTATO

The flower in the top picture dots the entire yard very low to the ground. They do close up when the sun is bright and it is hot. The flower in the second picture which looks like a dandelion but isn't closes up in the afternoon and it is hard to find even the actual bush. And, yes, I am sure most folks call these weeds but I still enjoy them.

Last night's sunset was really beautiful...

The sky was more orange than the above photo shows but hard as I tried, I could not quite duplicate the actual color.

So, we camped at the KOA at Bear Lake (Garden City, Utah). The last time I was here, a little over a year ago, the lake was down but not this year. The lake was higher than I have ever seen it. But, to be honest, so are the reservoirs around Park City. I took several photos of just one end of the lake...

This particular KOA is a great place for kids. Next week I'll share some photos of everything that's available to do.

I did want to tell you about the potato chips at the Logan Festival. Really wild...

This is one potato...not quite as crisp as chips but not quite the quality of french fries. Once you began eating, it was hard to stop.

Duchess is completely cleaned but with everything that went on today, I didn't get to hook up the water yet. Hopefully tomorrow...

Have a great summer weekend and enjoy yourself...
Thanks for stopping by...
Talk to you next week...

CRAFTING IDEAS

I am always looking for a small piece of paper to write down something which will later be disposed of. I decided to use some of the scrap paper of which I have a ton. I mostly use the paper for glueing projects. I decided to cut the paper into a small size. (Six pieces from a piece of copy paper.). But just having them sitting on my desk would get messy without a container. So, using a cardboard box, I cut it down to size and using a hot glue gun I glued the ends together. Using a picture from a magazine cut into pieces and stick craft glue, I glued the pieces to the box inside and out. I also used some decorative tape for the outside edges. And to finish the top corners which were not covered, I used straight pins with colorful tops. Looks nice and works well.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

So in looking over your habits what did you find? Some popular good habits folks have are: Meditation, exercise, journal writing, flossing, reading and walking up early. Some not so great habits included smoking, saying yes, swearing, tolerating folks, not sleeping enough, always complaining and constantly making excuses. Do you have more good habits or more bad habits? Is it time to change? If so, start with the easiest bad habit to change, not the hardest. This will give the best chance of success. Decide on the best way for you to change your habit. Worry too much? Set a time to worry and then stop. You may have to stop yourself several times at the beginning but keep it up and you will worry less. Or, alternatively, write the worry down as well as options to stop the problem. Just figure out which way to stop is best for you.
