The New GateWoke up before 7 and immediately thought of the Health Fair. So called their number and a recording said we could come and just stand in line without a reservation. I told Joe we should go if he didn't want to go alone tomorrow morning. We got into our town clothes and hit the road and barely got there before 8:30 - the last time for appointments. Amazingly there was only one person ahead of us. Other years we have stood in VERY long lines. They got my blood on the second try and Joe's must have gone o.k. too. So..... very glad to have that taken care of. They serve a continental breakfast. Lots of it was already gone, but we had some cereal and a muffin with some fruit and coffee and juice. It was fine. Walked the dogs, gave them a piece of string cheese from breakfast, and right back home. The whole thing took three hours, and I have the rest of the day just as I normally would if I'd gotten up at my usual late hour.
We had a nice ride to town and back. The mountains were totally socked in with clouds nearly to the valley floor. It looked like rain, but of course it won't. By the time we got home the sun was shining and you can tell the kind of day it is from the gate photo. First thing I looked this morning it was 20 degrees. Now at noon it's about 50 Ianthe shade, the sun is warm, the wind is chilly. It might make the 70 they were predicting on the radio. Photographed the new gate and took a small walk. I plan to go out and water some of the shrubs and pick up that pile of raspberry bush trimmings to burn them. I have a small inkling to run the weed eater a little, but will see about that.
Joe's going up to Irish Canyon to get a pole to put across the top of the gate. Hmmm. It will set on top of the two tall posts to keep them from leaning inward. Well.... Later..... I was going out of the house with my coat to go up to Irish Canyon to check on Joe - like was he stuck or hurt - when I saw him pull up to the gate. A long time to get one pole.
