Exciting Rockies playoff games. The Rockies won the first one. Before the second game, one of the television announcers was pondering the Phillies predicament and declared if they didn’t win the second game, they would have a big mountain to climb out of.
The Rockies won that one too. The Phillies have a big mountain to climb out of.
Last week on the way here, we stopped at the top of Wolf Creek Pass and had lunch. While watching the white crowned sparrows on the ground, we got swooped by a gray jay. What a treat! We get lots of blue jays, scrub jays, and steller’s jays, but we haven’t seen a gray jay in years. Two of them hung out within binocular range for about ten minutes.
A busy week in Cortez is over already. Nice fall weather; a great variety of warm sunny days and rainstorms. Mostly, we just worked, but we got to sit in the front seats and have coffee each morning, watching the dawn as the sun rose from behind Mesa Verde. We’re happy to be here and would gladly stay longer, but…
Tomorrow, Durango.
