This badger was a first for us. We've had neighbors, 100 feet lower than us in elevation, have their yard dug up by him but this little man was our first.

They all come marching one, by one…

They come in a dozen

They come in a dozen. This small family of a dozen or more marched through our yard, walking within 15 feet of our smiling faces. I have lots more photos of our summer yet to post. We've had rock stars, aspiring rock stars, all kinds of fun and interesting guests.

Wooley Duo

wool mart
Kym and  Susan are a yearly-wool-Mart-duo coming to our inn each year whilst attending Estes Park’s annual Wool Mart.  Both ladies are devoted teachers and friends, whom we enjoy “yarn-ing” stories with.  This year it was about Kym’s encounter with a bear whom she chased off by flipping on her green porch light, and threatening to call to 9-1-1.  Kym, a danger to wildlife…I think not. We wish Susan the best with her pursuit to obtain her masters degree online with “Make Me Crazy University”.  Eric and I have daubed it MMCU.

Did you hear about the cat who swallowed a ball of wool?  She had mittens.
