Yesterday was a lovely relaxing day. We got set up for dinner and then went for a walk with the dogs. We saw some canyon jays and heard a woodpecker. The weather has been in the 20's in the morning, but gets up to the 50's or 60's by the afternoon. The sun has been shining every day. Dave and I elected to go grocery shopping and Louise stayed here and did some picking up before company. I made a banana bread and a pan of brownies and we all relaxed in the afternoon. Dave saw two bald eagles fly over the pond, which they rest of us missed. Around 5 we looked out and saw something swimming across the pond. At first I thought it was a muskrat, but when it came out of the water, we could see it was quite large and eventually, the tail was exposed and we saw that it was a beaver! We watched him for quite a while and then he was joined by a smaller beaver, which we assumed was his mate. Fortunately, the beavers were still there when our guests arrived - everyone enjoyed watching them until it got too dark to see. Kyle is a nurse practioner and works in the clinic with Louise. Angel, his partner, works in the call center at the clinic and is rehabbing a house that they bought in Alamosa. We had a lovely time chatting with them. They are both very nice and interesting people. Cheryl, a nurse who lives in one of the rentals next door, came home late and joined us. She had dinner as we were having dessert. She lives in Littleton (about 4 hours north of here) and has a crazy work schedule. She works seven 12 hour days here and then has a week off - drives home for the week and then repeats. She also seemed very nice.
Today, Louise is going to stay around and do errands and catch up with patient logs, while Dave and I go for a jaunt. We are headed to Creed, which is supposed to be an interesting town. I will let you know later today. Hopefully, I will be able to put some pix on soon as our connecting cord is supposed to be delivered today.
