Bicycle Bar

This is the second such bike bar/pub thing I have seen in the neighborhood this year.  This one loaded with people and moving down the street 5 on each side pedaling.

We are having a heat wave and it is just too hot.  The top temp is outside and the bottom is inside.

Drive

Went for a drive up the hill this morning to the top of Bogus.   A nice drive and much cooler up there.

Flower Garden

While walking over to Dad's house I snapped this pic of Siberian iris in someones front garden.

Eremurus

Love this tall spiky flower

Run Off

Run off  from the rain.

Roses

Went for a walk in the rain and came across these pale yellow roses.  The rain drops on the lens blurs the focus a bit and helps softens the image.

Cycle Pub

People sit on both sides of the bar and peddle to make the pub/bar/thing move. The guy standing is the one that steers the thing.

Block Party

Last Friday the Roosevelt Market had a block party.  Good time was had, talk to neighbors and friends and listened to music by Ned Evett & Triple Double.

Bug Collection

We got a new bug in town and the state agriculture dept. is trying to figure out what to do about it.

Junk

Saw this truck across the street from the folks house.  We have been going through the folks 'junk' for a few months now getting ready for an estate sale.  Cleaning, sorting, pricing, and a bit of tossing stuff in the trash bins.  Seeing how the neighbors handle junk sort of made me smile.

A Cadillac that has seen better days.  Do not know the year but guessing early 50's

New Houses

My sister and I went up to Idaho City to have lunch at Trudy's.  On the way back we stopped at an estate sale on the hill above the development at Harris Ranch.  Northeast Boise.  Not much at the estate sale but the view from there was interesting.

Road Closed

One guy working and three watching him.

Builiding Up

A new building is going up in a spot downtown that has just a hole in the ground for the past 21 years.  Because of politics no one has been able to much with it until now.  Whatever, it is good to something now.

Candy

On Saturday I went on a scavenger hunt for Boise's 150th birthday with my sister.  The idea was to find bits of the city's and states history.  One of the stops was Mrs. Powell's candy store.  So many goodies yum.  

A bit Fishy

Another sign of spring is this tough little begonia.
