Hair Color Gone Bad
Oh my heck, look what my hair did and we were supposed to be at the temple tonight! Auggie Davis is getting her endowment! I had to bow out and try to rescue my hair, praying hard!

Where's my dog?
Oliver got his first. Grooming and they shaved all his personality off! It was sad when I went to get h he didn't look or act the same! I hope his curls grow back soon along with his personality😪
Gunlock Reservoir
On our nostalgia drive we stopped to take in the beauty of Gunlock Reservoir it was so nice to be by the water and listen to the sounds if the quiet morning! It was chilly though so we didn't stay long! We collected a couple pieces of driftwood that I am going to try to paint on!
Then as we were getting close to the water we saw this clever evidence that children had been there playing while their parents fished in the lake! It was a fort of some kind they had fashioned with old logs and sticks! They had also lined a little path to the fort with river rocks! I live imagination especially in children so I just had to share!
The clouds around the lake were stunning! The water so clear and blue, and alongside ther was a herd of wild mules! We couldn't get close enough to photograph! All in all it was a true trip down memory lane and a day filled with miracles of nature! We even were blessed at the end of the day with a rainbow❤️ Not common here because of lack if rain but so loved when they come!Utah Hill
Today we took a ride back in time! We left St. George on old Hwy 91 up over Utah Hill going south. This is the old route we too back in the 1940-50's to get from Hurricane to Las Vegas or California. The old highway had a long hill that was only single lane! All traffic took this Gil! It is the heart if the Mojave Desert and in the summer was Britain. Car engines! Len is standing next to a man made cisterene that collected rain and spring water for travelers to replenish the water in the old canvas water bags that hung on the front of cars back then! This stop was at the top of the hill! There used to be a cafe and motel for travelers who got stranded there in the winter due to snow or whose cats overheate in the hot sun of summer!
I remember this stop as a very young child. We took this drive to remember and see the things locked in my memory! Many if the things are not there anymore but upon asking mo and dad about them I found my memories to be real. There used to be these square concrete things every so often all the way up the hill! Each concrete square about 4 feet square had a pipe that came out the front that road crews kept filled with water for overheating cars on the hill! We looked and looked for them but didn't find them, but they did exist! Not sure what this little cave was for! The entry was framed with concrete but now it is used for people to go to the bathroom it smells like! Yuck!
This is a top view of the old cistern.
