Life goes on.
I've been saying (and feeling) this pretty much all month -- but it's true. We both had some flu-ish days, but have kept going ... the Brick, until the potato harvest was done, and me on a two-day trip to Granby. Five hours drive each way, and one very long day while there (10:30 a.m. - 10 p.m., with breaks in between). It was worth it...but boy, was I tired getting home.
This week: getting ready for winter, and concentrating on work. We had threatening clouds and rain last week, and the Blancas got snow -- but the roads stayed surprisingly dry. Castle Rock, Denver and so on, up to Empire, were a different story -- scary amounts of rain, and Berthoud Pass was full of snow. But thankfully, the roads on the pass and afterwards weren't too bad. I'm grateful -- driving in the rain was pretty iffy.
In spite of the wind and rain, we still have some fall color, though it's largely the deep goldens and rusty browns that signal the end is coming soon. Ah well. It had to happen eventually.
By the way -- I am not sure why, but visitors to the blog have gone up substantially! Welcome, new friends -- and faithful Gentle Readers. Glad you're here.
Meanwhile, I'm sending this on a day early, so I can get some other fires put out.
Buy a rare Keith Haring mural -- and get a free Tribeca loft with it! The mural was found accidently under layers of drywall...and the owner says more could be there, too. Price: a measly $25 million.
The secret life of an Oompa-Loompa: Past, present and future.
Fifty invaluable dumpster finds. Maybe not all are priceless -- but they're certainly interesting.
More thrift shop/dumpster discoveries...
And while we're at it -- Crazy Things found in people's houses.
Cheap meals - from cheapskates. Some interesting ideas here! (But not all. Some are a bit *ahem.*)
Have a good week. Are you ready for winter??
