Estes Park, Colorado... Day eleven... Saturday August 21, 2021

The beep of the alarm pushing us out of bed... 7:00am... taking our guests... Eduardo & Daniche... to the airport... a flight back to NYC’s LaGuardia... lovely ride through the pass... on the trip back stopping off in Lyons to pick up a few bits and bobs at the dispensary... short while later they’re on their way and we are back at the house sipping coffee and enjoying toasted english muffins and water for breakfast in the bright Estes sunshine...

Lazy day... few loads of laundry... clean sheets and towels for all... enjoying a day of hobbies... the hubs... watercolor painting... yours truly writing... of course. Watching the approach of hurricane Henri with a bit of apprehension as we are not in NYC... nothing to do but trust our friends and kids to keep our greenhouse and home safe and sound... fingers crossed that we don’t lose power or have any damage

Resurgence supper tonite... winter white bean and sausage soup... delicious warming meal as the Estes winds are kicking up a bit... sunshine warming the living room as the afternoon progresses... outside 64°F and blustery...

Watched The Devil Wears Prada... terrific movie... enjoyed Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt... an excellent cast... off to bed... nighty night
