Yep, the 4th of July is gone-- again. It was spectacular weather this year, not just our usual sunshine, but tons of rain, too. The weather was kind enough to hold off for the Annual Arroyo Seco 4th of July Parade, pictures to come soon. We had a huge turnout for the parade this year. Brantly and I and some friends walked from here to Arroyo Seco. I think we got home after the parade faster than those who drove.
Anyhow, it was fun, lots of good food (Taos Cow Ice Cream!!) neat stuff to look at, and excellent people-watching. The 5th we had over 1.5 inches of rain at the Cottonwood Inn!! Our rain gauge wasn't placed correctly, or it would have been more. We had some hail in with the rain, which was nice to drop the temperature by about 20 degrees.
Lots of butterflies (and weeds!) today. Still lots of birds, but low hummer population this year. We don't know why, but have heard the same story from others around the area.
Lots and lots of lavender. I can't keep up with all the cutting. Time for some lavender soap....
