May 30- June 3, 2020 Carbondale to Fort Collins, Colorado


The pool at the Base Camp RV park we just left. We were too busy to take advantage of it yesterday, of course they were filling it yesterday and we probably would not have been allowed in.  We are now parked in front of Jimjim and Martha house in Carbondale.   

We played tag with this freight mania truck on the way to Carbondale. We were not sure if it meant the drivers were crazy or the freight. Lily flowers, milkweed and yellow orchid.  John BBQ'ed pork for dinner. Martha cooked the rest and we had a yummy dinner on the deck. It was in the low 70's, so we had coats on.

Sunset on Sopris peak tonight. 

Martha and John with a couple dogs on a walk by the Crystal river. The first post covid dinner get together. Widely spaced and outdoors. Jimjim smoked some yummy ribs.

As we were getting ready to leave Carbondale the people across the street were having a huge 50 foot evergreen removed from their yard. Nothing like watching a huge piece of tree swinging on a cable right next to the bus. They took the tree out in three pieces. They then stripped the branches off and feed the whole thing into a chipper. Took less than an hour. Awesome. On our way back we passed this truck. College Hunks Hauling Junk, Stress free moving and junk removal. Didn't get a look at the hunks tho.  

Sunset tonight during dinner from our deck at our house in Fort Collins. I didn't do the best job merging the different exposures of the sunset and dinner, but you get the idea.  

The cloudy moon under a crane in downtown Fort Collins. Pulled most of the weeds in the vegetable garden. Turned in compost and planted the tomatoes. Next I will turn in compost in the center section and plant the two basil plants that are sitting there. I wanted some marigolds and a couple other flowers too, but Home Depot only had pansies. When the garden is ready will have to locate the flowers. 

Sunset tonight from dinner on our deck tonight. I finished this basket today. It is 7 1/4 x 6 1/2 x 2 inches. It is made from pine needles and stitched with polyester cord. The center is a stained glass earring I made years ago and the beads are glass beads.  

I got a little more done on the garden. I hauled compost, dug it in to the center section. Mulched and planted 2 basil plants.  Sunset tonight.

I also made these. 3 x 2 inches, made from dyed pine needles, stitched with polyester cord, gemstone chips, blue magnetite turtle, agate bear.  Very cute.
