A Week in Photos: 2026, Part 31
August 11, 2026
Monday, July 27: Drove home from Spokane. Before I left town, I checked a store for something I hadn’t been able to find at home, which took me by this interesting water tower. So nice that they added some visual interest to what could have been just a plain reservoir tank.
Tuesday, July 28: Had blackberries picked on our property on my cereal for breakfast, did stuff around the house, and enjoyed another beautiful sunset from the deck.
Wednesday, July 29: We have a birthday coming up in the family, so seemed time to release the first balloon to drift around the new house.
Thursday, July 30: In what feels like a significant milestone, Mr. Karen and I got to the point of starting to set up what will become a sitting/reading room in what was a bedroom. The rug from our former living room fit quite nicely (the curled edge needed to be weighed down to flatten after months of being rolled up) in the space, and the loveseat will work there as well (not sure where it will be in the room yet since the vision is still coming together).
Friday, July 31: Fairly busy day of running errands, having dinner at a new to us Salvadoran restaurant (they were out of chicken, so we’ll have to go back and try that sometimes), and of course, more unpacking and arranging stuff.
Saturday, August 1: Mr. Karen alerted me that the hummingbird was back, so I hustled over to try and capture it on camera. Which I did, sort of, getting this blurry image of it flying rather than dipping its beak into the blossoms. Still, better than no picture.
Sunday, August 2: Even when the sunset is quiet, the color is still pretty behind the mountains.
