August in Colorado...

It has been so lovely here....hot and sunny during the day with no humidity, then around supper every day, a heavy thunder and lightening storm to wet things down (thank you, Lord!!) and relieve the heat and any drought we were suffering.  It's been lovely, just lovely.

Today Skip turns 64.   Another year.....

We are headed to Wyoming for a few days next week. Just camping and putzing around. No special occasion...love Wyoming in the summer.

The ravens were going out of their minds the other day and after about 30 minutes of that, I asked Skip to see what they were squawking about.  He walked up to the open space and he said there sat a gorgeous great horned owl. The ravens were fussing because they don't like owls and wanted him OUTTA there.....Skip came back to tell me about the owl and till I grabbed my camera and got back up there with him, the ol' boy had flown the coop.  Bummer....wanted to see him big time....but it wasn't to be.  We checked trees in the area but he'd really gone away.  We also have a hawk couple that are out there crying and screeching every day.   That forlorn cry they make..like the old Western movies...pretty cool.

Friends and former neighbors from PA are making a marathon trip across the US and Canada. Were in Denver yesterday and will be here for a visit today and maybe overnight.

Getting anxious to see our third oldest granddaughter this month!! She's coming for a week to visit and bringing a gal pal with her.  Can't wait to see her!

Been sewing.  Made tea cozies for an order Yvonne had for me. Bless her heart. LOVING the Go! Baby AccuQuilt cutter..makes those charm squares in a flash!  Need to see what other cutting dies I need for my passion for fabric and sewing!

Haven't heard a lot from the East Coast...but their lives are busy I guess with summer activities with the kiddos....busy busy lives!

Blessings for the day
