Always active in some sport.

Always competition at the Lobitz house.

The joy of summer

There were some nice days to be spent with family.

Arrival in Pahrump

We were surprised to see all our trees and bushes made it through the hot summer. Some of out trees are now 10 ft tall. Our roses and bushes were still in bloom and we harvested 3 peaches from our own peachtree. The house was in good shape.

Our yard had grown many tumbleweeds which will require our attention.

Getting South (part 3)

We started with snow, and ended in sunshine. We did have the opportunity to see fall colors mostly missed in Minnesota.

Going South (part 2)

The country is large and there is much to see. The wide open spaces. We loved the little towns that time forgot. An old fashion movie theater on a downtown street is quite a sight. There is no shortage of wind in the west.

On the road south

After outrunning the snow, we did find ourselves in winter in Nebraska and Wyoming. Although we did not have any delays, it was quite cold. Our poor flowers packed in boxes on our trailer. Pepper had not been in snow for a few years.

Getting Ready to Leave

Leaving is always hard. Everything has to be packed away for the long winter. Separating what to take and what to leave and finding the room to store it takes time.

Moving Toward Fall

The end of summer is near us, and some of our plants are looking better then ever. We are trying to enjoy this place as much as possible.

Green in Minnesota

With all the rain, it sure is green

More Space

The Economic Recovery Act has forced me to concrete the floor in the large garage. It took only two days for us to complete this project. As you can see the only use for this floor is for dancing.

Cucumber Factory

While Rennae and Brian and a little help from me, were doing our pickles. 66 qt. and 4 gal jars for this year. All our jars sealed successfully. I took time out to add four windows into our quanset.

Everything is Green

With all the rain this month, everything is green. other then the humidity, it has been very comfortable.
