Girl Power!

 

Henry pees Annie; all four feet planted firmly on the ground.  Judy told me the other day that he walked up to a tree, lifted his leg, looked up at Judy shocked, then lost his balance and fell over.  It’s like his leg had a mind of its own and lifted, but Henry didn’t know why!

 

Since then, Judy tells me, he has actually peed on a couple trees and rocks, but it always seems to surprise him, and he can barely balance.  Keep working on it Henry.  Someday you’ll pee like a man.

Colorado got rain!

 

It rained all night and most of today.  A slow soaking rain.  Perfect!  Now we’re ready for the sun again tomorrow.

 

A meeting at client’s offices in Washington Park today.  Here is a picture of Washington Park on a rainy day.

Plans change

 

We were going to leave Colorado on Sept 17th and head south back to Texas, or west to Parker, AZ to see Judy’s sister Sue.  We decided to stay and do the eye surgery here instead.  We scheduled it for the 26th.  Cataract surgery requires follow-up visits the next day, week, and month; so we’ll be here through about the end of October.

 

It’s September and the summer heat has broken.  The highs in the 90s seem to be gone.  Now we’re in the 80s.  It’s cooler at night.  Sometimes we have to wear jackets to have morning coffee outside instead of putting the awning out for shade.

 

Comfortable days.  Cool nights for sleeping.  The trees will turn to their fall colors while we’re here; in fact some have started already.  September *is* a great month to be here.  So is October.

Now we're at Chatfield State Park

 

Our morning view.

 

Magpies galore.

 

 

A good day at work.  An evening walk accompanied by the calls of coyotes all around me as it got dark.

 

A nice day.

 

Tomorrow, another visit to an ophthalmologist for me.
