Fun company and summer is a waning

Amazing sunset - looked like the sun fell out of the sky

No sooner than I got home from Seattle I had guests the very next day, my brother Cliff and girlfriend Tish. It was a very quick visit but we made the most of it.

Woods walk, magic spring water stop, and the Ohio Pass required photo. Absolutely gorgeous weather on top of it all.

Of course we had to do Secret Stash...and Third Bowl...and shopping. It seems our secret little town is not so secret anymore. Tish had heard of CB and Secret Stash from friends of hers in Houston. Shhh, we don't want everyone to know.

Camp 4 coffee of course

While wandering around town we took a peek at Sean Guerrero's latest metal sculptures. and surprise, the artist was there himself. Had a great conversation and found out he was taking all the sculptures to Durango as the featured artist at a big car show. Amazing work but out of my price range.

Cliff and Tish exploring the hundred year old miner's cabin that's half on our property. If you've been reading my blog these past years you will notice this cabin is disintegrating more each year. The roof is collapsing and worse within. No community money to restore these cabins sadly.

Flap looking a little older and no fawns this year

Deer, deer everywhere in our yard including Flap and an injured doe who has been using our shady under deck space as a rehab. No photos of her but she has a deep gash on her right hindquarters. No idea what happened but she's definitely limping less than when she showed up 4 weeks ago.

A normal traffic jam on our one road into town. It turned out to be a small cattle drive so only a short delay and minimal manure spray. Trust me on this, that's important. Cliff and Tish, you missed out on this!
