New glass! 
For those of you who make jewelry I understand the excitement of getting new beads when I get a package of glass in the mail - especially with new colors I haven't yet tried. The usual purples and greens were accompanied by the new colors of opalescent turquoise, a beautiful caramel color I hope won't lose its color in the flame like so many of it's kind do, and an ivory streaked with deep brown. I can't wait for tomorrow!

 I actually made a large set of marbled beads in one sitting. A rarity for me! Available in the store.

Beauty...


 One of our alpine lakes at 8500ft profuse with wildflowers

   High mountain windflower


And drama...

The 26,000 acre Bison fire that started on the 4th of July with a lightning strike one mile east of our house.

We are never in short supply!

Please pray for our firefighters.
