Some are working, some are just having fun







Oh, the fun of company! Always something to do & see. We went into Gunnison to eat(stuffed our faces at W cafe), shop, and visit the crazy store with mountains of antlers & stuffed animals. Ralph decided there were too many germs in there, Janice got the heebies jeebies, and Duane just thought it was a fascinating store. Everybody has a different reaction to that place - that's why we go!
The doe with twins were back again yesterday morning. The deer love to eat right by our bathroom window. Most unfortunate for those of us who are trying to take showers, brush teeth, etc. without disturbing them. I was taking pictures with a towel wrapped around me - as if the deer care whether I'm dressed or not :-)
On the way back the cowboys were hard at work, exactly what work we're not sure, but it certainly looked impressive. Photos courtesy of Mark. Our cows are placidly eating up our grass and bothering our newest neighbors with no cowboys in sight. They don't have a fence up yet and are frantically trying to schedule it, as damage mounts up. The cows have pushed one of their garage doors askew, and are trying to mangle the barriers around their well. Boy, I remember the frantic herding away from our house last summer - welcoming the new people.
The hummingbirds are becoming scarce. The bees are about as numerous as the birds, so we expect the time is limited to have the feeders up. They seem to be busiest at sunset. I love Mark's picture. Yes, I let him take a photo every once in awhile with his former camera.
And here's a photo of the "boys" this morning contemplating life or trouble - hard to say...
