Around ten o’clock yesterday, Terry exclaimed…”I’m tired of doing work! I’m tired. I want to do something different.”
“Okay,” I replied. “What do you have in mind?”
“Let’s take a little drive, nothing far, or hard to get too, nothing full of dirt and concern over hunters. Someplace we can see that is different from the farm.”
“Hummm”…..we pondered together.
“Let’s go to Ouray,[ Colorado]!” he announced. “We can get a bite to eat on the way up, stop and get my part for the pick-up on the way back, and be home by supper.”
So we did! 🙂
Your friend,
Linda

Adventures on the spur of the moment are always the best!! Glad you both got away for a little while!!

I love spontaneous outings like that. It looks wonderful. I’m interested in your statement “concern over hunters”…I recently read an article about how pervasive gun use is in national parks, shooting practice and such, not just hunting, and I was amazed.

Oh, it’s hunting season here. First bow, then black powder…and it goes on and on, even into winter and late winter when there are those who hunt Mountain Lions. So we couldn’t head up on the plateau …. the hunters are everywhere and some get shooting crazy—will shoot at anything that moves…sometimes they shoot at people.

No one deserves a break more than you and Terry. And of course Boomer guarded the farm for you.

Gorgeous, gorgeous header, Linda! Getting a break from the work is just what the doctor, errr, farmer ordered!! Come back refreshed and ready to dig in to more farming.
Sunny and very hot here. Blessings!

Terry is a man who understands balance. For days, weeks and months of hard work, there has to be that perfect day of freedom, fun and a different air to breathe.
