Long day!

The morning started off with the sound of the increased traffic on Hwy. 184 below the house. This usually starts about 5 a.m., and I figure it's early travelers and, to some extent, commute traffic to Durango.

That was punctuated by the banshee wails of some coyotes across the highway, following by their usual political convention gabble, gabble, whoop, gabble.

So, up and out with the dog. On the way back up the drive, the full moon was perfectly centered between two ponderosa pines up-slope from the house. Chilly, but beautiful, pre-dawn walk. 

There was lovely red streaking in the sky at the south end of the valley, and beautiful color in the west at sunset.

Went to Jake Riffel's funeral this morning; it was well-attended. Lots of death notices in the papers lately. Dad used to say they go with the coming and the going of winter ... that seems to be true as winter comes on here.

Sandy met with other Artisans members to get our plans straight for the Olde Fashioned Christmas celebration in Mancos. It will be good to be here and be part of that this year!

I wandered over to the library and was surprised to see art of SWOS kids on their gallery wall. Good exhibit!

Tentatively, we'll show FeVa Fotos works on that wall in March.

Lazy afternoon working on pictures and napping, then out for a meeting this evening. tv
