Estes Park, Colorado... Day twenty two... Wednesday September 1, 2021

Waking fully rested... lazy morning... breakfast toasted multigrain seeded bread... love this bread... wish we could get it in NYC... Awake Tea by Tazo the hubs enjoying his cottage cheese with black pepper... fruit plate of sliced bananas... raspberries & blueberries with his hot java and of course... water

Gray day... skies smoky... clouds accumulating... thunderstorms expected tonite... the air feeling cool... deer out grazing early... sensing the coming rains... haven’t seen Henry the hare in days... hoping he’s surviving the ever prowling haws... hummingbirds at the feeder... dominant male chasing others away... only allowing his females access...

Off to the local thrift store... they support local charities in Estes Park... donating dishes... mugs... clothing... luggage... kitchen accessories... cartons and carton of goodies for them to sell... of course had to peek inside... picked up a couple more movies a sewing box... hand mirror and a fishing reel for the hubs... so glad to support their efforts

Back home... lunch... ham and turkey mini wrap for the hubs... peach to share... more water the air incredibly drying at 10% average humidity... restful afternoon... the skies hazier... the air cooling... becoming damp... the storm approaching... hubs out in the garage securing for our departure in a week. Our dear friends closing the greenhouse in anticipation of Ida’s wind and rain as it passes through NYC later today and tomorrow... 

Resurgence supper tonite... Greek Eggplant Stew with Caultiflower & Olives... a fabulous NYTimes recipe... adding in leftover chicken thighs and a bit of leftover farro...so delicious

Josh Cabernet alongside and of course... water

Movie night The Accountant with Ben Affleck and Anna Kendrick... action packed thriller... thought provoking study of autism spectrum disorders... excellent... well acted... another episode of Planet Earth off to bed... nighty night
