Late Morning and a Trip to Town

Parked at the edge of Farrier Coulee, Auntie Violet seemed very happy this morning! I was happy too, since I got to sleep in.

There was a lot of bird activity and song this morning -- many, many Western Kingbirds flying around between the trees in the windbreak and the flat. I should have gotten out Forry's camera with the big lens as this fellow posed quite nicely for me for quite a long while --

Later this afternoon we headed into Ritzville and picked up the packet for the Executive Board meeting that Daughter Mary Mae had mailed. I checked while we were there to see if there was a Driver's License office in town, but was told there hadn't been one for almost five years... Both of our driver's licenses expired in May. We got extensions by snail mail, but we have to renew the licenses within 60 days of returning to the state of Washington. Guess we'll have to do it either in Moses Lake or Spokane.
