Update about blog

August 8th sunset over Hogback Ridge and Heron Peak. Durango CO with air quality warnings of "ozone" or possibly smoke from wildfires. I kept the windows closed.

Musings of miscellaneous things

 

I like watercolors of cats... by Elena Wuest The Tangerine Hour





I love when the temperatures drop after midnight and I can open the windows.


"Caws for Concern" last Saturday was International Day of the Cat!


----------------




The owners of this property have fenced off their garden area...but the deer enjoy the leaves on their trees, thus there aren't any lower than the reach of the hungry critters.

Sharing with Saturday's Critters

Groceries (and gas) cost more in Durango than they did in Black Mountain NC. So rather than paying $7 for a loaf of mixed grain bread, I baked some. I found my dried buttermilk which was packed in a U-Haul truck had baked into a hard cake of something inedible, so I just used water instead. My bread was kind of thrown together without a recipe, but it is tasty.



I found some more Elena Wuest paintings on this YouTube. No more cats though!

    Good morning from a somewhat cooler place. We are having pretty decent days lately. Enjoy your bread.

      It's finally cooler here, with a high of 83 expected today! The nighttime low was 51, about an hour ago. I have my windows open to fresh mountain air! Finally enjoying what I came here for! (Well, one of the things!)

    "The Tangerine Hour" is indeed a very beautiful and accomplished watercolour!

      Me too, isn't it wonderfully done? Watercolors that shine with that light are the true examples of the best of that medium.

    ...I love The Tangerine Hour too. Deer sure are adaptable critters.

      Yes indeed. Now I think I'll search around and see what else that artist has done.

    I believe "The Tangerine Hour" has enchanted us all.
    May you continue to get cooler weather!

Thanks for commenting! I tried moderating, thinking that would be a quicker way to check on comments, but actually it takes more time. So go ahead and talk amongst yourselves, and I'll check in when I can!!
