Tractor on Main Street


It is not uncommon to see large tractors on the streets of Susanville. But this thing was a monster!

Sunset over Susanville this week



Deer


Deer are everywhere in Susanville. They tend to roam in herds through the neighborhoods and adjoining fields. Thanks to my sister for snapping this photo.

We went on a picnic to Clear Creek. The park pond had some great reflections.

I love sunflowers!

July is when my sunflowers start to bloom. A few are popping up in the front yard right now and I need to plant some more this weekend. We grow a forest of sunflowers in our backyard every year.

Watery Wednesday


Because I am not internet savvy, I don't know how to add the URL link to the Watery Wednesday photo. So here it is: http://waterywednesday.blogspot.com/
Last summer I was trying to work on taking silhouettes. I got my sister and our boys to help me out.

In like a Lion, Out like a Lamb.......


We had a few snow storms in March. Let's hope April only brings rain showers, not snow showers. Thanks to my sister for taking this shot while we were on the road!

Big Sky Country


I know another state has that claim to fame, but Lassen County has some amazing scenery.

Is it spring yet?


This is Susanville Ranch Park. Last weekend we had snow. The days leading up to the snow were warm, high 50's. Then the snow came. Luckily it didn't last long. But it did put a crimp in my gardening. I was supposed to plant onions that day. Hopefully by the time this post goes up, all the onions should be in the ground.

Orchids

My mom's orchids look great. Last year this orchid was cream with no pink. Must be a hybrid, but what plant isn't these days! We were trying to take some nice photos of this outside, but the wind was horrible. I am lucky we got this shot.

Tumble weed invasion!


Right now in Susanville tumble weeds are everywhere. Not only do you see them on the rural roads, they blow across Main Street too!

Mennonite Signs

There are quite a few Mennonite families in Lassen County. I noticed that several families have signs in front of their homes with different sayings. Today and tomorrow I will post a few.
