July, a little late

July 31 slipped up on me this week with a visitor from the U.S. and a trip I was invited on with a friend in our church plant.  I'm traveling with a lady who doesn't mind asking permission to walk in a farmer's wild lavender field where I would just drive past the private property sign.  The result is that we get to walk around the field and take home cuttings the harvester left behind, and our car smelled amazing the rest of the day.  Ask and you will receive is certainly true.  

But meanwhile, July was a month of moving and settling in, so there are a lot of house and new town pictures, as well as a lot of pictures enjoying the local park.  We had our first two visitors from home this month and tried to beat the heat.
