July 2015

Welcome to July!  We tend to have our noses to the grindstone a lot here.  It's our choice - there's just a lot that we'd like to accomplish.  But we're also aware of how much beauty there is waiting for us to explore, only minutes from the door.  Once in awhile we're able to get away for a few hours of that.  Here, we're on the backside of Mt. Gunnison, coming back down after running out of time to try and climb an unmarked route up to an alpine lake.  Had to get back to take care of the animals, but we look forward to coming back here.


One of the many things we want to create on our homestead is a place to store things out of the weather, so Linc and Gerald started work on a storage shed (in background) after finishing installing the solar PV array on the new pole mount.


And the garden started to explode with summer growth, especially now that there we had domesticated turkeys wandering around eating all those grasshoppers that decimated last year's plants.


Our lovable neighbor Zoe stops by frequently on her daily dog walks.  Here, she and Jeanne practice their communication skills.
