Two Tipis in Pinedale

Today was a busy day. Didn't get up until after 9 a.m. although had been up twice in the night - once I took a shower at midnight and was awake so wrote the morning edition of the blog about 4 a.m. It was supposed to be in the mid 30's for a low last night. Although sunny blue skies, there still is a cool breeze. I'm not complaining one bit, just put a sweater off and on as needed most of the day.

Ken and Nancy came over this morning. How good to see them both and have a too short visit. They looked at the barn show and gave a home to some of the artwork. I was sorry that I was still in my morning stupor. I always do better in the afternoons. Nancy and I have a special rapour and mutual interests. Such kind and caring people and making their own special journey right now. Hers is an inspiration and good path to follow.

Then about one p.m.most of the Heningers came over to see the barn show too and take plants from the flower bed. That went well, with Sherese doing the digging. She's will replant these plants at their place and is going to come back in a day or so and get more. So finally the flower bed project is beginning to look like it will soon be finished, leveled out with extra dirt and turning into lawn. We also had a good visit with all the kids and grownups, lots of hugs and catching up. They live scattered all over the country and have had a good gathering at the ranch these last few weeks.. I met friends of Zane's, Eric and Maureen or Mo, and their two children.. She is a pediatrician. It was delightful to see the barn so full of people looking at the paintings. I missed a great opportunity for pictures of that. We had a little refreshments and turned down another invitation to dinner - steak, baked potatoes and corn on the cob. - since we'd just been over a few days ago.

It's been a full and happy day. I'm probably going to bed early again.
