Summer Food

Summer food seems so different than winter food. Fresh corn at a farmers' market, local greens, and marinated, grilled chicken is just so right. There might be ants or mosquitoes, but the whole eating experience is so summer.

Last evening we took a drive, just to look around. We stumbled across an access to the Animas River very close to town. To date the only place we had to put kayaks or rafts in was far to the north, making the float to town very long, becoming tedious. Now this discovery will allow a moderate or quick trip down fast moving water, something far more likely to happen than a more time intensive investment. I'm anxious to try this out.

Breakfast Sausages, Sound, Texture, Aroma Superb

Getting up early in the morning, starting breakfast preparation, complete with the aroma of crackling sausages in the frying pan. Is this holiday, or what!

After spending the last three summers involved in going to summer school, this free time to reconnect with Colorado friends is like cool water to a thirsty traveler. I didn't realize how much I missed it.

What I'm most thirst for right now is a really good book. I've been too long without, and I very much need to get to the library, spend some luxurious time browsing, and coming away with a selection or two. Life with friends isn't always conducive to the kind of reading I want to do, but I'll reassert myself once I get a good novel.
