Betty called to visit yesterday afternoon. She's eager to learn which house we're going to choose. Later she sent the photo of me that she took while she was here. The purpose was to get a picture of the new spiky "do" but in this one it's not too spiky. Anyway I don't take a very good picture any more, but this one wasn't too bad, so thought I'd stick it on the blog today.
For a while I sat and deleted more of those triplicate email messages - boring but easy. Probably got rid of about 5000 today. I think I'm almost done with that now.
This morning is brilliantly sunny with some clouds, although the weather report said that it would be stormy today. Maybe it will cloud up more later - and that only takes about ten minutes. My little Boulder weather sticker says there it is mostly cloudy. The ragged low clouds are beautiful pouring down through the passes and streaming across the foothills. There were still raindrops on the windows when I woke up, so hadn't been too long since the last showers. Not too cold.
Our local herd of antelope is just outside the studio window this morning and there are two small bucks hanging around on the outskirts, The buck keeps having to go out and make them keep their distance. There seems to be an established perimeter where they are allowed..... or not if they cross the line. The does mostly ignore the challenges going on around them, but try to escape themselves once in a while. The buck has to chase them down and bring them back. It's better entertainment than TV - our own wildlife documentary.
Steve who lives in Washington now, sent some fall pictures of Mt. Baker and are they every beautiful. Thanks, Steve. Maybe he won't mind if I share a few of them on the blog so you can enjoy them too.
It rained and showered on and off all day yesterday. Sometimes it poured for a while and we began to get some puddles before dark. Until then the ground just sucked it up. None this morning though - it's all soaked in. They got more rain further north of us which is usual. I wish it would pour down for days and fill our ground water back up, we've continued to have such a drought for years now, and I worry because the glaciers are also melting away - not getting the snow pack as it used to years ago.
Tomorrow I'll go to town to get my protime test (coumadin). We need a little groceries. It is Joe's birthday and maybe he will like to go to dinner or something to celebrate. We'll see. Joslyn had stopped by the day we last went to town and left Joe a birthday card. We were sorry to have missed seeing her. I'm getting anxious to see Debbie. She should be here on Tuesday.
