I decided my days were too centered around the television and the Internet, so I put both my laptops in the den for a couple of days and did some office work while listening to Internet radio. When it was time for a break I listened to Spike Jones on my iPod outside in the sun while I knitted.

But time got away from me, and it's been too long since I talked to you all.

First off, here's a picture from one of the local papers. It shows Longs Peak and Mount Meeker in the background. I'm sorry the truck cuts off part of Mt. Meeker, but it's still a good shot of Longs Peak. This view dominates our area and I would paint it if I knew how to paint. One of these days I'll try, but my fear is that my rendering will fall so short of my expectations.



The fox (I think) dug this hole in the foundation of the garage. Yes, this is a true 'fox hole' if he dug it. Skunks would dig that kind of hole in that kind of location, but it doesn't smell like they have been around. I didn't know it was there until I saw the bear try to stick his head in it. I filled it in loosely with dirt, and we'll probably put some heavy rocks there.



When the weather was snowy I put some homemade bread cubes out for the fox and the squirrels helped themselves. I like the tree squirrels and hope the fox doesn't eat them. They scold him from high up in the trees.
