Estes Park, Colorado... Day twelve... Sunday August 22, 2021

Sleeping in... feeling well rested... toasted buttered multi grain bread coffee and of course... water The hubs setting up the stereo system... Mozart and the mountains with breakfast... divine. Watching the hummingbirds zoom back and forth to the feeder... their wings so fast they’re almost invisible.

So pleased... the kids making their morning flight to Denver... getting out despite the storm... seeing them later on today after their adventures in Boulder... they’ll scrounge their supper on the way up...

Hubs sketching out plans for next years re-do of our deck... front and back... currently crumbling from dry rot due to age and weather. Planning to replace with Trex... recommended by both the neighbors here and Jane Bennett as well... making tiny adjustments in height and size so as not to require a new CO...

Off to the market... picking up a few necessaries... a lovely late afternoon walk around Lily Lake to cap off our day... admiring the baby ducklings the last of the summer flowers... fall arriving early in the mountains ⛰

Mark... Drea... Jesse & Elena... arriving fresh off their flight and visit to Boulder... meeting us at Lily Lake for a peek... down to the house for a brief rest... a bit of chatting... then off to Lily Lake for a sunset hike...

Resurgence supper tonite... leftover Winter White Bean and Sausage Soup with turkey meatballs and additional beans... and of course... water one of our favorites to enjoy again...

Spent the evening chatting with the kids... sharing stories... lots of laughs... their park entry time... 5-7am... scooting off to an early snooze... couple of hours left to ourselves... movie

night... a comedy... What Women Want with Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt... quite entertaining... off to bed... nighty night
