BEAT THE HEAT

June in St. George was beautiful. The weather was something I have not experienced in the month of June in all of my ten years in the desert. But the heat of July hit us hard. I have spent most of the July weekends away from this place but today I found myself home and wanting to get out of the red dust.

After breakfast I packed a lunch while the boys packed the car and we headed to Kolob Reservoir. This is a beautiful place. Only an hours drive to the east and we found ourselves surrounded by cooler temperatures and peaceful serenity.

...picnic...hike...wildflowers...
...tree meditation...swimming...
...reading...sleeping...

We did all of those things today. My soul has been rejuvenated by the beauty of the world around me.
