Thank God it’s the weekend! We think weekends should actually be 3 days long, this 2 day stuff is outdated as by the time you get in the swing of it, it’s time to go back to work.
We headed up to the mountains around 6pm last night which had us arriving around 8pm. With Mojo and two extra kids in tow (for a total of four) we finally were settled by a bit before 9pm. I ordered pizza for the kids while Lori set up Mojo’s new crate in the garage. After that she took Mojo for a walk up the hill until she came upon a fresh deer leg! She then said she felt eyes on her from a large kitty cat or mountain lion so she ran down the hill with Mojo in tow. I’ll have to go up there today to see just how fresh the leg is but mountain lions are quite common all over the state as they really have no natural predators.
The 2nd rifle season (hunting) starts today in Colorado and I hope to hunt the 4th which will be more like mid November. We’ll see how my schedule goes but there sure were lots of hunters with their rigs packed full driving up the highway last night. It’s getting darker earlier in the mountains these days so by about 7pm we were in the thick of it. By the time I ran into Whole Foods in Frisco for some eggs, bacon and milk, the stars were twinkling brightly above. Lori says next week daylight savings time ends and we fall back (meaning set the clocks back an hour) and it’ll start getting dark by 6 or earlier.
Today I need to visit the liquor store at Costco in Eagle which is about 30 miles west. I brought up some samples for them and hopefully they’ll turn into a really good customer. There’s some Mexican’s down there that are roasting fresh hatch green chili peppers from New Mexico that we also want to get to throw into the freezer for the winter. Can’t have good pork green chili without real fresh, not canned, green chili’s! After that, or before, we’ll take the kids for a hike up some mountain to burn off some energy. We also need to continue looking for a used dresser somewhere so we’ll again hit the consignment stores looking for something cheap.
The temperature is nice and cool up here, in the high 20’s or low 30’s now, Â and it’ll be sunny and in the mid 60’s today which is just about perfect. It’s now about 7am and I think all the kids are still sleeping. Ty seems to be fine this morning and thanks for your prayers Eleanor. He still had a sore head yesterday so he must have bonked it pretty well and maybe had some sort of mild concussion. Hopefully his pain will be all gone today. Whoa nelly, they’re all up except for Jag who sleeps like a teenager these days.
Ski season officially started yesterday which reminds me that today I also need to take the boys and rent their snowboard boots for the season before they’re all sold out for the year. That’s about it, time to get moving as I’m sure the kids will be looking for some food pretty soon. Take care and God Bless.
