Mystery Solved

For the two years we have lived here we have wondered what the bright white on a mountain northeast of here was. So one Sunday afternoon our curiosity got the best of us so we hopped in the jeep and headed out to explore the origin. We picked the roads that we thought would head us in the right direction. Well the road got so rough we decided to park and walk to the top of the peak where we thought the mystery existed. At the top we peaked over to the other side and there it was. We now know that it is called "Bald Mountain", so the mystery is now solved.

Hay Hauling

Now this is the way to haul hay. It is all in the barn for another year. Hurrah!!!

Monte Vista Crane Festival-March 9-10-11, 2012

We had such a great time and did well selling products.  Need to make shawls and cowls. And, thanks to Jane & Arthur we were able to see the cranes without unhooking our truck from the camper. We are exhausted so we are just hanging out today. 

Who's the Boss?

"Okay boys this is my hay so stay down."  There always has to be one clown in the herd.  This guy typically is the lead guy. This was on the way back from the pastures, I think they don't want to go into their paddock, but want to keep playing.  "Boys", what can I say!!!!

Mt. Ouray is my most favorite mountain down here, and I wake up and look out every morning to see this majestic mountain.  What a way to start the day.

You have to love Salida.  We saw these down the canyon on our way back to Salida.  They were very good about letting me take their picture.  Things are very busy here on the farm.  Delmar has been working on the electrical in the shop, and I have been knitting, crocheting, and spinning trying to get ready for the Crane Festival in Monte Vista.  What fun!!!

Elk in Estes Park

When we were up in Estes Park in June there was this whole herd of elk, and I just couldn't resist taking a picture of these guys.  You don't get to see so many elk calves at one time.  I wanted to share this with all my friends.
