Kayaking at Rocky Point...you know how we love it there. And I agree, spending time hand watering plants in the early morning is a lovely start to the day (but I do appreciate our irrigation system at home, too). Very fun to see Mattie enjoying getting in the water. :-)<br />It looks like you're having a perfect summer, and I'm SO glad the smoke and heat haven't been a problem. I was beginning to fear we were never again going to have a good summer in the Rogue Valley. <br />Laurel (www.ravenandchickadee.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09133248112440273123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915357815051575646.post-56179501640348326532019-08-03T17:36:40.548-07:002019-08-03T17:36:40.548-07:00Yeah, right, Mark, like you would leave Lovely Our...Yeah, right, Mark, like you would leave Lovely Ouray...the ultimate Chamber of Commerce photo op.

I hate dragging hoses, so we have a lot of them. I found something called a Zero hose. Lasts a long time, is super lightweight, and never kinks. I think they are 36 bucks for a 50 foot when on sale at Grange COop or something like that. They make watering so much easier. I have sprinklers on timers as well, but can't get everything, but they do save me a lot of time. Still have to water part of the yard. We set up a lot of timers this year, maybe more next year, and then eventually when we can pop for another 10k or so will possibly get underground real sprinklers all set so that they can managed the low water situation. I can't just turn on a sprinkler and let it go. Then again, we may never do that.

He'd never kayaked and we were in our Sea Eagle two-person blow-up kayak. Holy cow, never again! We've had such a pleasant summer, haven't we? Cooler than usual and not smokey, for which we are truly grateful. PS: I hate hoses. Jimmy is finally setting up a watering system so I won't have to drag those suckers around the yard -- hooray! Envious of your beautiful flowers, and love your flower pics!Nickie and Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11566506168550004304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915357815051575646.post-32397292763816544282019-08-03T11:08:39.267-07:002019-08-03T11:08:39.267-07:00I think we just hit the water at a bit too low, an...I think we just hit the water at a bit too low, and got unlucky on that first curve. There are lots of inexperienced people on that part of the river, and we saw a lot of people getting hung up in shallow parts.

Your flowers are lovely. Berta liked to spend quiet time watering her posies. Me, I live with what nature provides. But I do like to see the pretty flowers. OMWow, that mirror like lake and reflections is outstanding! The kayaking sounds better than than river. I must have been lucky on the Rogue when a bunch of Rangers that didn't know the river did about that same trip.
