Hello again !

I pondered whether I wanted to continue this blog.    I know that I have a few readers and I do appreciate that although I'm not sure why any of us follow the lives of others.     As I've said before, my main reason for this rambling is a diary of not- very -exciting -things.    And helpful when the memory blinks.  

Wildlife on the golf course and my morning walks.   

And then a worthy 2+ mile walk along the Uncompaghre in Ouray.    

Still enjoying the Bird Buddy but the female Bullock Oriole prefers the hummingbird feeder.  

My latest drawing.   I've slacked off a bit this summer but manage to add to this one when the mood strikes.    It's the same dog, puppy and aging.      I'm looking forward to finishing it up and maybe do a cat for a change.    I'd also like to do some birds.  

We have a beautiful great grand baby, Austin Paul.    No pics without Becca and Michael's permission but he looks just like a perfect month old baby ( as of today ! ). He carries a family name.      We hope to cuddle him in a few days.  

We are picking up a new car this week.    I'll share details later but there is a learning curve on this one.   The NYT this week had an article saying the new technology is very good for aging brains.... and not so great for young growing brains...... interesting article.  

Weather is typically hot and Colorado is burning so we have smoke and haze.   The Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP burned last month and it will be closed for quite awhile.   This is a significant economic loss for our community.   Fortunately, the Visitors Center was saved.  

And now we're into the season of fresh corn....seems especially sweet this year.....and large juicy tomatoes and my favorite BLT's...... I do eat bacon now and then but find that the meatless products are just as tasty in my sandwiches.    Palisade peaches are ready but since I'm the only one who would eat them, in any form, I pass them up.....sad.    

Enough rambling..........
