Weird Sunset

Our correspondent Evan Raskin sent this picture of a strange sunset. Tal and Jeff, who are part of our scientific braintrust, are of the opinion that this is the shadow of a thunderhead. Jeff reports that the peaks of cumulonimbus clouds typically go as high as 40,000 feet. (That would be 7-1/2 miles.)

Gassing up at Poplar Grove

I guess there was a car show going on somewhere on Saturday.

I don't know if hats were required, but it seems like a good idea.

Dinner at Hodshons

Joann sent this picture taken from her porch. She reports that the bottom of the feeder is 6-1/2 feet off the ground.

Fledglings

Miika sent this picture of a chorus of baby birds at Appalachian Theraputic Riding Center.

Squash Boats

Ginger floating squash boats (some with candles) on the wading pool. Tammy started making boats out of overgrown patty pan squashes when our kids were Ginger's age, so now it's a family tradition.

Never eat anything bigger than your head

Jeff with some of the cabbages harvested from the South Toe School garden. They were planted and nurtured by the third grade class under the supervision of Cedar Johnson. The bounty went to the local food pantry.
