Yesterday was the blue moon (which only means the second full moon in a month… But it was supposed to be a beautiful one. Diana and I decided to climb Bolton tonight for moonrise and make a birthday card for gabe’s birthday is coming up. We got to the trailhead about 8:00 and hiked up as the sunset. It was really beautiful.

We got up to the fire tower with more than an hour to spare. We used it to watch our nephew Jake’s high school graduation, which would be televised. It was awesome. We’re really proud of Jake. Next year he’s going to Iowa State.

While we waited, we looked at the beautiful bright sky and track when the moon would rise

ythis is the image from the starwalk app I use

While we were up there, we made a birthday video for gabe… His 31st birthday. It will be early next week… It was too windy for a cake or even a candle but we made do !

Happy almost Birthday gabe !

Chilly out again.. DIane a, Oaklee and I took a quick hike up to the window

When we got we found that most of Diane’s freshly planted vegetables had been dug up… They hadn’t been eaten so whatever dug them up was after something underneath the plants… It was pretty crazy. Diane was able to replant almost all of them… But we can’t figure out what kind of animal it was… I looked it up, and it suggested it might even be crows. !
