We've had coolish mornings, bright afternoons, a day of mild rain, and more sunshiny days. Time to work on outdoor projects during the warm part of the day, or recreate with sun as our reminder that soon it will be too hot to do some things. I know, it's a while yet, but time flies, as they say.
Here is the taking down and ceremonious destruction of the Old Swing, which has served us for 25 years or so. I'll soon hope to show you what we're doing with the area once we've cleared up all of the stuff that now seems untidy.
Here, too, is our bike ride in Chico. I used my Christmas gift certificate to get a new bike seat and a kick-stand! Yippee! A kickstand! And I still have enough left to start thinking of a bike-basket.

 |
| The area is going to be altered in the coming weeks, now that the swing is going. |
 |
| One of the two wagon wheels, this one the worst for the wear. |
 |
| Such a meager pile it turns out to be! |
 |
| The swing is gone. Long live the swing. |
 |
| I can't decide which close-up fire picture I like better, so I give you both. |
 |
| my preference leans towards this one. |

| can't help it. love shadows and reflections |
 |
| I'm looking too frowsy to blow this up any bigger |
 |
| we had a nice lunch here. |
 |
| I had to include our 9and3/4 sign, which Jeffery made happen. |

On the rainy day, I drove to get the mail, and saw a train stopped in the Honeymoon Tunnels, so I took the best photo I could. It was getting dark, so here it is. There are more tunnels that the train is threading; I just couldn't get all of them.
