“Grand Canyon, including the historic lodge on the North Rim.”

Oh, NO! We stayed there on a family vacation when I was a teen. I LOVED that place! That style of architecture started my life-long love of Log Cabins. :(

BUT - it also burned down in 1952, so hopefully they can rebuild again.

Beau is home from Bear Camp for a quick layover to borrow a F-550 (!) to haul his F-350 in for repairs. He’ll be spending a LOT of time on the road in the next few days.

Anyhow, we walked through the Kitchen Garden with me this morning, just to see if all my whining about too much rain was really too much rain.

His exact words: ‘Well, we won’t starve, but things are NOT up to your usual standard of MAGNIFICENCE as far as the vegetable garden goes.’

Cold comfort; but at least I wasn’t imagining it! I won’t have the usual BOUNTY to be as generous as normal with family and friends this season - Mama’s gotta EAT!

I suppose I need a year like this from time to time as a Reality Check and to appreciate each tomato, cuke, green bean and zuke. Life can’t all be Sunshine and Lollypops I guess.
