I love being retired. You got the woods to yourself most weekdays!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2nv1zJM\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/52180476549_666d0f2ff4.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I found a good vantage point on the mountain to see the Arkansas River and south Tulsa on the other side. This truly is an Urban Wilderness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2nveSPC\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/52183070474_c193ec5801_n.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"320\" height=\"179\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One day Heather and I bicycled 15 miles on the RiverParks trails. Doesn&#8217;t sound like much but it was a nice time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2nv1rcr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/52180447819_a5364aaa3a.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At the house, the crepe myrtles are loving the sun. I posted this image on instagram and while I was thinking crepe myrtles, I typed out azaleas. Nobody said a thing about it except my wife. You need wives like Heather keep you straight. In other news along that line, I had some books to return to the library and so I went there and tried to put them in the book return slot and they wouldn&#8217;t fit. You know why? Cuz I was at the post office, that&#8217;s why. Heather got a laugh out of that as well. And I&#8217;m saying the books would have eventually got back to the library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2nubZ8g\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/52171189849_432f091ae5.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And another sunny photo at my MIL&#8217;s swimming pool.  The net is up because my skin is so white that it causes sun reflections that blind our nations surveillance satellites. Don&#8217;t buy that, how about this? The local ducks took to using the pool as their hangout spot. Turns out that ducks can foul pool water quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So that&#8217;s about it for me. I hope that everybody (in the northern hemisphere) is enjoying their summer. You folks way down south, just hang  in there it will be your turn to have summer in several months. You guys in the tropics. Just enjoy if you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m linking with <a href=\"https:\/\/skyley.blogspot.com\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/skyley.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Skywatch Friday<\/strong><\/a>.
