The cabin was heavenly. I hated to come back down. And then I discovered that the meeting had been canceled that brought me down! But since I'm here, I'm making the best of it. I'm seeing my foster granddaughter today and a friend tomorrow, and I'll hear about our younger daughter's trip for a wedding, and enjoy the sunshine here. I'm flexible.
My husband, our younger son and I went for a walk with the dogs at the cabin yesterday, and took a wildflower identification book. We were pretty certain about some, and had fun glorying in the diversity and beauty of the flowers. The lupine was abundant, and penstamen and yellow iris and many more. I showed our son the osprey nest that you can see from the window in the cabin, and we could hear their cries off and on. Everyone but me saw a mountain bluebird, and we spotted junkos and tanagers and creepers and other woodpeckers. I especially like the Pleated Woodpecker, which is big and had a slash of orangy red.
The three dogs spent a long time looking through the rails of the deck at a gray squirrel, and imagining they could climb trees. We sat and read, played Yatzee and Bananas, and fed our faces. Peaceful, yes, and so relaxed the body kind of melts into the chair. Now if I can just keep that feeling down here!
