The last heartbeats of summer






This is our traffic here. Sooo typical, and everybody waves. Gotta love it! The slow pace of life is awesome...
Our company has come & gone - boo hiss. It was a great week and the last day everyone went in different directions from Crested Butte (Ralph & Janice) to volunteering time at the art center in Gunnison (me), to enjoying and solving the world problems at home base(Mark & Duane). Weather was fabulous all week, thank you, and now the crisp air of fall is descending rapidly. Our cows are now fat and obviously love Star Mt. grass. They are here for another month and then, well, it's destiny.
Picked up our weekly eggs at the farm. The goats greeted me as I drove down. Not sure what they're contributing to the process other than eating down the weeds. Very cute though... You know there is a goat movement in different parts of the country to rent them to eat down the grass & weeds instead of horrible non- environment friendly mowers. Wow is all I have to say. We're in good graces there I think, with no mowing whatever at Star Mt.
Last tidbit - local airport was shut down temporarily when the Gothic RBML scientists checked luggage with vials of potassium chloride. Oooh, FAA wasn't sure what this was - well neither am I, but evidently harmless and in small quantities for science experiments. Just a blip - wish I had been a fly on the wall when the men in hazardous uniforms showed up in itty bitty Gunnison. airport.
