Hells Canyon Winery

More Boise

We toured several wineries near Boise. Most picturesque were St. Chapelle's and Hells Canyon. These are from St. Chapel.

Mike took te one of the windy road.

The guys were really patient while Teri and I took pictures.

Baby birds

I saw these little guys hanging around today. I think they are robins. They seem to be fledglings. We could get really close without scaring them away.

Which one do you like better, and why?

No dorks allowed.

This sign was posted outside a club in downtown Boise.

This was a window on the same building.

We were in Boise a couple of weekends ago with Teri and Grant. Little known fact: There is a large Basque population in Boise. Teri and I went exploring with our cameras and found this on the sidewalk. I found the lyrics amusing, so here I post them for your own amusement.


This is a little washed out, but that is the Basque flag reflected in the window.


And then below, just another building.

Close-up: Dried Sunflower Head

The 4th grade at Aaron's school did a "Rock Concert." They actually really sang about rocks.

I went outside on the deck and a bird huridly flew off. Because in the past we've had neighbors who have had birds try to take up residence in their grill, I opened mine up only to find this(actually, there was more grass than this. I already took a big handfull off):

I just used the grill last week! Why can't you birdies live in the little birdhouse Aaron and Michael made just for you?

Curling dandelions

Lily brought in a bunch of dandelions. I remembered curling dandelions in water with my grandma when I was little, so decided to try it. It works best with long-stemmed flowers. First you peel the stem into 4 or 5 pieces.

Then get a bowl of warm water and put the dandelions in.

Finally, watch them turn into tight curls!
