We had a great few days off and accomplished all we had to do. We had a few days of smokey skies but all in all the weather was great and the traffic conditions were fine. The smokey sky blocked out the heat rays and kept the days a few degrees cooler. Yes it was a bit worrisome because of the tragic fires burning. We did our best to trust our well trained wildfire teams and stayed in touch with broadcasts for updates. Fortunately we stayed safe and were not directly affected.

| It's hard to know the sun has an intense burning heat, behind this smoke filled sky. |
 |
| My camera didn't pick it up, but trust me, the sun this day was a brilliant red! |
you'd be surprised how much shopping I can pack into her!
Daddy laughs each time were searching for a parking spot. There are just unlimited options due to her tiny space requirement.
 |
| Always room for the small cars! |
 |
| I'm glad daddy was the driver. I'd never be able to spot where I parked her! |
 |
| Honestly! That's just a ONE Car space! |
It would be a few days before it cleared away completely.
 |
| To see with the naked eye, the sun was bright red. |
My gates swung open, and ‘they’ rushed in. It began with the adorable little spider monkey Lilly. She came to spend a day frolicking and entertaining Lord Bailey.
 |
| Lilly, "On your mark, get set. . . " |
What a great way to begin daycare after time off. I laughed till my sides hurt. Bailey loves his playmates, and they certainly return that affection to the fullest. Bailey has become such a frequent visitor. Sometimes his mom and dad require immediate daycare for him at the last minute. It doesn’t happen often but when it does, I’ve even texted for an unscheduled playmate for him even when no one is booked. I know he’ll love to see ‘anybody’ and it helps me when he has a playmate. Sometimes it’s a lot for me to keep up with his energy. His buddies tend to handle him perfectly. Yay Lilly’s mom and dad! Thanks for the drop in!
 |
| Me - "Look! I bot a new toy." Bailey - "It's for me, right?" Lilly "We'll see about that." |
They played together for the full day., and then just a half hour before home time.
Then they both crashed. It was a good fun day!
 |
| No doubt dreaming of her next playday. |
Lilly went home and Bailey stayed to fully enjoy the rest of the week with Countess River, Miss Ruby, Cooper, and little Suzy Q. The weather was perfect. The sun was shining warm and bearable. The Countess and Lilly were the only ones who hopped in the pool for a quick cool dip. There was some morning zooms but by afternoon everyone simply found a cool spot to lay and relaxed.
 |
| How long before Miss Ruby gets here? Not until tomorrow guys. |
 |
| Ok let's go out! |
 |
| 5 little monkeys ready for play |
 |
| I have no idea why these 3 little monkeys look so serious. Must be nap time |
 |
| Nap time in the cool A/C |
 |
| Our sky is back to normal |
 |
| The moon has given up it's red glow finally |
Henry will join us this week and we'll be looking forward to seeing Miss Ellie for a few days as well.
I feel like, if I blink, I'll miss the last days of Summer, the time is going so very fast.
I'll post a few more photos to Facebook. I'll have to do it in two batches. I took way too many, again!
I hope you enjoy them. Stay safe everyone.
