Easy living




Hurray, our fence is going up! It will take multi days but at least it's started. The cattle have been around quite a bit and there is not one, but two bulls added to the group. The bulls have no horns and seem to have only one activity on their minds. Since I'm keeping this a PG rated blog, I won't go into any detail on the "activity", but suffice to say, it's happening in full view of our living room windows, the road we drive out on, in our woods, etc. Ahhh nature...


We went into town to do errands, one of which was to visit the Gunnison airport. We have guests coming to visit who were having issues trying to get a flight in from Denver. Here it's hard to get accurate info without going to the source, so off we went. The airport is teeny and only a few planes fly in & out. I went to the counter, of course there was no one there, but someone did come out to set me straight on what's what. It seems we are going into off season starting Sept so flights are halved (two a day instead of 4). That's for Oct too - then ski season will kick in. Now before you have decided we are a two horse town, let me tell you, there are things, important things that go on. I haven't seen it yet, but for a few weeks a military Osprey assault aircraft is here with 3 dozen government contracters doing high altitude testing. High altitude - that's us! And another biggie - President Bush, Laura, & their daughters were here for a friend's wedding. Of course, no one knew about it until it was over - can't imagine why we weren't invited.


The other picture is a view from the top of the hill where we walk in the morning. Really breathtaking.
