| on our meander down the canyon. the whole weekend, the skies were this way. miss moon pulled all-dayers. she was visible all weekend- even during the day. i love when that happens. |
If Colorado were a lover, It'd be passionate. Also, spontaneous, and, around certain times of the month-unpredictable.
This weekend at the cabin, we wore our bathing suits and got
sunburned. it was fantastic. oh! the smell of sunscreen again and the
windows wide open with a Steve Miller record leaking out. And that 'all
wrapped up in sun' feeling. It was just enough nibble off 'the cookie
of summer,' just a little swipe off icing from the back of 'the summer
cake.'
Colorado is a thoughtful and compassionate lover too. It sends
presents, guised as stunningly beautiful days, sporatically throughout
the last of the cold months, that allow us to keep the faith and keep on
truckin.'
This past weekend had to be one of those presents because, it's snowing
this morning! Just as our sunburn has seeped into tan! You never know
what to expect from a love affair with Colorado, so mysterious.
Weekends
at the cabin are the best for doing nothing on the outside and lots on
the inside. And on weekends like this one, for being outside alot and
inside a little.
They are perfect conditions for asking AMC one of my 'island questions.' This is a game
of sorts that I play all the time. Mostly with myself, when I realize
that I love something so much. It's my ultimate test of the term, "I
love." I make lists of 6 things that I would bring with me from each
category of life (books, CD's, individual songs, foods...) if I had to
go live on an island for the rest of ever. I asked AMC an island
question of:
"If you could have a poker night with any 6 men from any time and place, who would it be?"
They were:
Deepak Chopra
Darwin
Bob Marley
Al Capone
Barack Obama
Dave Matthews
Ben Harper
That was 7, so he had to stop....there's only so much room on the boat, ya know? What does your poker night list look like?
It's
Tuesday morning now, and the trees outside with their brand spankin' new, bright
green leaves are meeting snow for the first time. Are they curious
about that snow, as they drink it right up?

| The records on repeat were Crosby, Nash & Young and Steve Miller (note not with Stills or Band, I think I like it better this way.) This is a Mutty cat who apparently doesn't want to flip the record. |
 |
| living room cushions brought outside make it impossible to get up, so it's better not to try. naturally. |
 |
| our first round at steak cooked on the fire grill. |
 |
| contemplation: shall we use any of these at our wedding? |
 |
| AMC built us a new back table and window ledges for some flower pots to lay. A completion beer was in order. it was a Belgian kind, with bubbles. |
