An unforeseen rain rained all night, keeping us to the roads all another day

with some afternoon respite but no less muck and more rain

Friday the 13th, wherein our friends, the ones with the ambitious building plan north of Reno,

came out for an afternoon’s repast of duck soup, crostini and enjoyable catchings-up.

Saturday things cleared up enough to allow laundry

and dogs

as well as the 72nd [of 73] of the watercolor triptychs for 2019…also our WWll Dodge, looking

South;

East;

North [note snow level, ca. 6000′];

Sunday, Surprised by wet Snow down low,

led of course to a renewal of the Mud Subscription

in the melt.

The 73rd watercolors, the dogs’ inimitable undertable projects,

enough sun for a last laundry as well

as closing up the Repo

and everywhere else

before a last walk, roadbound, to the gate,

end of day,

end of stay…time’s up.
