Terry’s family had a family reunion at Ouray, Colorado starting Friday night and ending today. We went up for Friday night.  Ouray is just an hour and a half from here, a short drive.

While up there we got to go in and have a very brief tour of the Beaumont Hotel...I must say that it appealed to my sense of historical interest.

If you ever get a chance to go to Ouray and you love old things please try to spend a night there.  If you don’t like historical things The Ouray Victorian Inn is a great place to stay also.  Those folks are very nice and the Inn is even dog friendly.  The complimentary breakfast is served on real dishes with behind the counter waiters.  I very much recommend this Inn as a place to stay.

I have been a little behind on getting all my comments answered.  Please forgive me, my life has been extremely over-whelming lately, but I hope to get back to a comfortable routine.  As I get older I realize that routines are not dull and boring, but nice…they help keep a person steady and keep everything going forward.

Today, Sunday, is seeing the last of our consistent monsoonal thunder and lightening storms.  We will start to move out of this tiny little monsoon toward hot August weather.

Terry got the alfalfa cut last night to start drying.  I always know we are in the middle of summer when that happens.   If the heat stays and a small drying wind springs up, by Thursday we should have the hay baled and hauled in.  The weatherman says we should be in good form for another round of nice rich hay.  Magic thoughts that he is right!

The third and last cutting of alfalfa should be around the first of September, in 6 weeks.

Off now to visit you and answer your comments!
