Well, it all started with getting up early to go to the Cortez Farmers' Market one last time (turns out it will be next Saturday, too). On the way, the sunlight was beginning to flow down the east face of Mesa Verde, a scene we love from home. The Mud Creek area offered a different view, so we turned down the county road to get the bottom view.
On the way back out, Sandy noticed coyotes in a field to the west of the road ... five of them, in fact, spread out as they were crossing the field toward the south. Neither of us had ever seen more than one or two at a time before. They seemed pretty unconcerned about us or the nearby house.
Farmers' market had fewer vendors than usual ('twas cold this morning!) and fewer shoppers, but root crops were in. We loaded up on turnips, potatoes, parsnips, onions and carrots (and, of course, one of Bessie White's apple pies!).
After a good workout at the Cortez Recreation Center, we returned the north route, revisiting the camelidae on 184. Khan, the male Bactrian camel, came over to greet us and look us over ... looked like he had his thinking cap on. tv
