And its the last few days of July-again the question, how did this happen? I adore the summer/fall here so much and deeply regret each passing day. But, making the most of it! We do not have company for awhile and plan to get in some jeeping trips, hikes and things.
Short jeeping trek up Carbon Creek towards Red Mt. to see the sights and have a picnic lunch. Haven't been since last year and was surprised to see other people, one group fishing, one group cutting down dead trees for firewood, and a lone bicyclist. Quite gorgeous,wild and isolated.

Coyotes howling in the dark, cows mooing in the night - why?, and deer meandering through Star Mt. No car, train, or plane sounds to disturb the peace. Nice.
Had good friends Gail and Steve over for dinner - its been a year and we did a repeat with, drumroll please, Shrimp Paesano. Lovely excuse to make it.
Local news:
Crested Butte doctor, Dr. Gloria Beim has been appointed chief medical officer for the U.S.Winter Olympics team.for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Russia.She's been involved with previous Olympics and world games but this is the highest level yet. Hurray for little Crested Butte.
Multiple mountain lion sightings at the golf club in Gunnison. Lots of deer there - easy pickings?
Books read: Astrid and Veronika by Linda Olsson, not very inspiring, maybe translation, as she is Norwegian, An Invisible Thread by Laura Schroff, great true story of a Manhattan woman who befriends an 11 year old panhandler in the streets, and Sullivan's Island by Dorothea Benton Frank, pleasant, low country (South Carolina) summer read.
Lots of lovely rain yesterday and today. A day for inside projects or just lazing around.
