Yesterday, Cary and I took the 40 minute drive up to Diamond Peaks subdivision near Crescent Lake Junction, where Jimmy and Robert are doing a job. The day was sunny and warm, and the scenery was beautiful. I took a few pictures to show you why we put up with snow the rest of the year ... summers around here are to die for. (We don't really get a traditional spring; even though it isn't hot enough to be summer yet, it still looks like it.)

This is our nephew, Jimmy. I told him that I'd make a calendar called "Men at Work" and that he could be on the first page.

Robert is in the bulldozer. I didn't get a close-up of him.

The mountains in these photos are Diamond Peak,
Odell Butte and Little Odell Butte.
Cary and I went to Manley's for chicken and ice tea, and brought the guys hamburgers on the way back. We also enjoyed visiting with the homeowners, Frank and Paul. It was a great little outing, and it really lifted my spirits to get a change of scenery.
When we were at Manely's I spotted this sign, and was glad that I was no longer feeling as ornery as this pretty lady. Because, before we left, I sort of did have a bad attitude:
