Wildflowers, family visit, and Covid

 

Columbine - Colorado state flower

What a crazy couple of weeks we've had. All has ended up well but it was rocky at the start. Mark developed what seemed to be allergies or a mild cold and because we had family flying in, he tested out of caution and bingo : COVID positive. We were both stunned. Fast forward, my sister and family did not stay at our house until the end of their visit when Mark was out of quarantine, He never developed any further symptoms and I never got it at all (tested daily for many days). We have been double boosted fyi. Sooo that's the cautionary tale for all who still haven't gotten it - it may seem like absolutely nothing - stay alert.

The little bit of visit we had with Anne, Jean, Justine, and Clare was grand.

No live creature was hurt in this exercise. Just target fun with a bb gun plus s'more's and bug zapping.

Gorgeous summer with wildflowers everywhere and "our" cattle. It's all wonderful in this very special place called Star Mountain Ranch. 185 head wandering around SMR and stuffing themselves with our wonderful grass. Thank you for our reduced taxes! More company coming in two weeks. Tiffany and the girls!
