Anticipation of spring
Today is still spitting winter, little bit on the ground all gone by mid-morning. Thunder in the middle of the night - I don't know if I'm coming or going...
We went to Crested Butte to have lunch at our now favorite pizza place (Secret Stash) - whoops - only open for dinner at this off season time. As a matter of fact, lots of places aren't open at all yet.
Had coffee at Rumors (the cute bookstore/coffee shop) with one young lady working both ends of the store. Sat by the window and read newspapers, which is a treat in itself. That's our dirty (of course) Tahoe out the window. Oh, so peaceful & quiet.
However, when we ended up at McGill's for lunch, which is great anytime, it was jammed. A mob (two dozen at least) of University of Denver students crowded in. Evidently a late season weekend away. Do we want everyone to know about quaint Crested Butte -no not really - just enough for the businesses to survive...
Lots of animals out, including this saddled and no rider? horse. Cowboys were out herding cattle to where have no idea, but they were too faraway to snap a photo. Our very own (leased) bunch of cattle still have some weeks to go before they'll be let in (mid-July). Some of you will get to experience this fascinating close up & personal look at cows who missed it last year. Thank goodness we have the fence!
The hummingbird feeder photo is a quiz. What's wrong with this picture? We've had a pair of what we think are Bullock Orioles hanging around, trying to eat from the feeder,and having it seems, some success at drinking sugar water. The hummingbirds seem a tad frustrated - and they are way too small to fight this.
