Such a nice weekend!









It's been a lovely weekend! We started off Saturday with a trip to the Cortez Farmer's Market ... always a pleasant social event. Good music, good people, good locally-produced products. Bessie White wasn't there (the pies would have been gone anyway by the time we got there), but her preserves were available. She makes the BEST marmalade!

In the afternoon, we went to the historic Bauer House in Mancos for Bobbi Black's annual Fourth of July party, this year benefiting the Opera House preservation fund. As always, the place was beautifully decorated, including the lovely ladies at the beer booth sponsored by the Mancos Valley Chamber of Commerce. My Sweetheart was in raucous company, with Betsy and Christy!

Technical problems plagued the music, but we still enjoyed our favorite crooner, Nate Mayfield.

We enjoyed the evening ... till it started to rain. Knowing we would melt in a downpour, we headed for home and watched the Boston pops on TV.

Sunday morning we decided to worship in the cathedral of the peaks. We hadn't been on a photo safari for a while, so we took the dachsigator and headed for the hills. Scooby Doo had a ball running free for a while, and even followed her breeding and tried to dig out a rodent (unsuccessfully). There were wonderful vistas on a beautiful day, plus wildflowers, bluebirds and a great blue heron. It was just so peaceful and restful! TV
