Cows, bear activity, flowers, and company coming

Soo excited. Tiffany, Chris, and Miss Penny are on their way here as I write and Lisa and Charles will be here late tomorrow. Great stuff - summer company.

expecting a package?

And the cows are all in, all 140 or so. Oh the joys of the plop in the road, the moo moo at any time of day or night, and don't forget to drive slooowly on our roads.

Flowers are still going strong here with a shift in bloom. The lupine are just about done, sunflowers have probably another week, and lots of other kinds are popping up to take their place. Mark gathered up a bunch of lupine seed to add to our yard - good luck on that, I tried it also another year and have seen absolutely nothing I can attribute to my seed flinging. It's harder then it would appear to get things to germinate.

While gathering the lupine seed, Mark ran across some bear scat, yup, that time of year. Instead of showing that (how tacky) I put up a photo of our bears via pictures and notice the hanging whistles. We provide everything, even a warn the bear off whistle...

Some exciting news: I had a photo accepted in the Wilderness Society 2014 calender. They're all about protecting the wild places in the U/S and we certainly have a plethora of that in Colorado. Should be for sale online soon. Don't know if it's for sale in any retail outlets.

My online archaeology class is stimulating, fun,and a bit of a scramble to keep up with the homework. Happily, they have adjusted the requirements to slightly less since a lot of people apparently complained they couldn't get it all done with vacation, travel, work schedules etc. Brown University is putting this one on and I highly recommend it if they do it again...Professor Alcock is very entertaining.
