Winter Settling Moon
Jon came out and assembled our new snow blower. It’s a yellow cub cadet with power steering (no kidding), a big light and a joystick controller for the blower. We’re ready now.
We’ve already unloaded many boxes, with many, many more to go. Kate’s focusing on the kitchen and I’m helping her move boxes and arrange them for ease of work. The loft space over the garage has received some early attention since it has the computer with all my passwords. I will post pictures when we get a bit further along.
The dogs have claimed our back yard, running and sniffing, testing the boundaries. No attempts to escape as yet. This is a five foot fence and will provide a challenge even to Gertie. A challenge, unfortunately, that she’s probably able to surmount. But not yet.
Last night driving back from Evergreen, headed toward Conifer, Orion stood, tilted to his side, just above the mountains. The sky itself was black, pricked with stars and galaxies. Yesterday, too, a family of mule deer buck, doe, and two fawns crossed Shadow Mountain Drive ahead of us.
