of nothin’ we crashed into three days of somethin’s<\/p>\n

what with Saturday’s two loads of laundry, Linda to the Farmer’s Market [which was chaos,<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

up the creek, longingly looking up to the Lone Pine, a place we never get to anymore,<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

before housecleanings, dogtongues, putting away L.’s studio<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

an abbreviated visit to mine,<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

then down to dinner with Mary Ann,<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

John Barr and Linda’s ex-nephew Scott who’s here for a week or so every year, usually around this time as it coincides with his girl friend’s work schedule<\/a>. A longish evening with many conversations; a detour into DMT with John, lamenting with Mary Ann over resistance to repairing the library building [Books? Burn ’em!*]…dogs, mountains…good times.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Monday after a trek up the creek wherein people became quite fixated on the Busy Squirrels<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and lunch we were in Walsenburg where the Safeway remained in upheaval with renovations<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and the ‘bib<\/a> remains…as ever.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Returning to Libre we ran into a gaggle of six straggling up to Dean’s studio after a four and a half hour lunch at Sibylla’s [how they do it I can’t imagine] as we barely made it down the hill<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

to unload and rest up for the sunset. No studio that day<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

but Tuesday, which started off in a cloud, was another story as<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

said cloud soon dispersed<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

though by afternoon it’d re-spersed, eh, dark, chill…barely rainy but<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

a very good day of nothings.<\/p>\n
