Bathers at Seven Falls

If you look very closely in the clicked-on larger version of this photo, you'll see that that pool is full of bathers! This is the most water that I've ever seen in this area called Seven Falls at the north end of Bear Canyon. In fact, many times that I've hiked this, the "falls" are bone-dry! This evening, I'm exhausted. I worked with Jack all day on cleaning his place, lining shelves, washing new dishes, putting things away, packing up things from here, going out and buying new things at a rummage sale, an estate sale, and Wal*Mart, driving to the warehouse to pick up my new loveseat (thank you, Richard, for letting us borrow your truck!), carrying it into my house, carrying the "old" loveseat out and loading it into the truck, and then getting it settled into Jack's new place, collecting all of Eddie's things and moving him into his new digs, and finally going out to get flowers for church tomorrow, before taking Jack back to his place.

Both Jack and Eddie seem to be well-satisfied with the new house, and I'm so far enjoying the idea of having more freedom and space to spread out. These 400 sq ft cottages are suitable for two compact individuals, who like living a simple sort of life, unencumbered by lots of extras.

The day was very warm, with a reading on one of the bank thermometers of 89°. And, when it's warm here, the sun feels like its rays are actually sharply pointed, piercing your skin. It's a different sort of heat; that's for sure.
