Well, we’re now in the mountains above Denver, which will likely be our last stop before heading back East to Charleston. There’s blue sky above the pines outside my window, and I can see a little doe meandering the ridgeline a stone’s throw from the deck. It’s not a sad sight to see.

There’s a lot to do here, with many folks to visit down in the city plus the possibility of making a few day trips to various locales around here looking for real estate or trying to break the Jeep (or both). I might nip up to Laramie to catch some astronomy action at Launch Pad, and there’s a chance I could go downtown for a bit of hanging around at WorldCon, too.

Busy, busy, busy.

But damn if it isn’t beautiful here.

Here’s a brief slideshow of pictures from the past few days hereabouts.

Well, we’ve returned from our trip to the Larson family farm up near Sidney, Montana. A good time was had by all, I think, though we’re happy to be back in the place we love best.

For my part, I particularly enjoyed the opportunity to do a bit of horseback riding, 4×4 gator driving, wheat-field walking, and, intellectual that I am, farm learning. The latter was especially terrific: I love finding out how little I know about something when there’s some folks around to better educate me on the matter. I’m no farming expert now, but I sure do know a lot more about it than I did when I went up there!

Anyway, back to Ouray and back to Four Shards.

We’re heading out to Montana this morning for Sherry’s family reunion at the farm. We’ll probably stay in Sheridan, Wyoming tonight.

It is highly unlikely that we’ll have much in the way of internet for almost a week. Alas.

I’d say I should’ve been a lawyer, but I think I’d hate the drudgery.

At any rate, today’s legal wrangling was a success.
