We're still here!


It's been a busy weekend! We hosted two of the attendees at the Friends Bulletin Corp. board meeting in Durango, plus provided airport transit for most of the others. So, not much picture-taking but lots of opportunities to renew friendships (I just resigned from that board after two years of service). 

On the way to pick up the new editor of Western Friend (new name for the FB) and take her to the airport Sunday, I was a little early so it was an opportunity to stop and enjoy the morning sun on the narrow gauge train preparing to make the run to Silverton. 

Sandy and I are both recovering from bad colds, probably with the usual fall allergy complications. Anyway, we're feeling enough better to enjoy the beauty around us again. The hummers are starting to lessen in number now; filling the feeder once a day is sufficient. And there's the occasional yellow tree in evidence, so soon we'll be seeing the russet of the Gambel oaks and then the gold of the aspens higher up. Morning temperatures are down in the low 40s now and the days are very comfortable.

Wednesday we're off to Chaco for four days, so today and tomorrow are turn-around time for us ... time to get to the rec center, replenish our cards and matted prints, get an entry in for an exhibition in Cortez, etc. September is going to rush by! tv
