{ a few happenings }

One evening this week Justin and I went and rode with our friend Tom while he was combining oats.

 You can see the rain off in the distance...

The other day I saw this whirlwind while driving home from Tucson.

I've never seen big whirlwinds like that before moving out west!

A gopher snake was spotted in the Strite's garden shed while I was there one afternoon.

Justin caught it and let it go under the trees and we got to watch it slither up a trunk.
