Fishing Day

> Today Curt and I went to Pruess Reservoir. It is almost to the Nevada border. It was pretty hot but we had a good wind most of the day. Actually it got pretty darn windy and there were white caps on the water. We did catch and release on the suckers that we caught. I think we both got a little too much sun but it really was a nice day. On the way home we were watching what we thought was smoke in the distance. As we got closer we found out that it was the wind blowing on a dry lake bed. On part of the road we had very bad visibility. It was a short stretch though so it wasn't bad to go past. This little reservoir has Mirror Carp in it and we saw bunches of them together. It just made the water look like it had a dark spot. The water has a lot of alge so it looked O.D. (olive drab) in color.
> Curt had a pretty good day. He was tired when we got home but it was sure nice to be out for a while. We watched TV and then watched the Moon come up behind the mountain. I love watching the moon come up especially when it is a full moon in the Summer.

Clay

Yesterday we went to Summit mountain to get some clay.  There is a great road at Braffits Creek.  Someone was going to put in a sub division but ran out of money.  There is a road clear to the top and what a view!  We can see clear to the Gap and Cedar City. It was very nice up there. Not too much wind and very cool.  We found some clay and brought 5 buckets home.  Its in the dry state so it was easy to shovel into the buckets.  The picture is of Curt running the clay through a screen to get the rocks out.  He smashes it to make a  fine powder then he will add water.  This Summit clay fires a tan color and is really pretty.  Curt says that it is a little hard to throw, sorta like porcelain. 

Today is Fathers Day.   HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL THE FATHERS OUT THERE. ESPECIALLY CURT AND MY SONS,  CLINT, MATT AND DANIEL!

West Hills

On June 18 we took a ride to the west hills to check out some places that we hadn't been to in a while.  It was less windy out there.  It was nice to be out of the wind for a while.  Curt is having more and more good days now.  The edema in his feet still bothers him but he is taking meds to take care of that.  He loves being in the garden and when it gets too hot there, then he goes to his studio and works on his ceramics.
