The three of us visited Canyon of the Eagles this past week. (It's great that they allow dogs, but we recommend this place to everyone!) As usual, we had a great time there—enjoying the peace & quiet (except for when Oscar was barking at buzzards or other wildlife). I always enjoy seeing the variety of birds--black-capped vireos & an abundance of cardinals. Oscar was quite excited at seeing a LARGE raccoon (through the window, thank goodness!) A highlight again this year was seeing the bald eagles. Mostly though, we enjoyed the relaxed setting. On the way home, we detoured to Colorado Bend State Park. We took at rather lengthy hike there and have decided this would be a nice place to camp some time--it is lovely.
We spent the second half of the week at home, enjoying leisurely mornings and afternoons in the garden. We worked in the garden some, Mark played the mandolin a bit, I crocheted and sewed--basically, we hit the right mix of doing nothing and doing something! It was a nice week off and we're already talking about how and when we'll spend our next break from work.
