A Journal of Urban Living

Now that I have an iPhone, maybe I could post more easily and frequently?Would anyone read it?

There’s many a farm task to complete but there’s still a little time to enjoy the slightly longer and warmer days:

Simon went to daycare for the first time yesterday. Half day (3hrs) at the slope-side nursery at Crested Butte. Here’s his report card from “Camp CB”:

Oops. He decided to eat it. It read:

Activities:
played with exer-table (we don’t have one of these at home)
Played with baby toys
Feedings:
Bottle 1:20pm, 5oz.
Sleep:
2:20-3:35pm
Diapers:
1 wet
1 BM (dirty onesie)

3 hrs of child-free bliss, snow and speed for Momma and Daddy. Priceless!

Simon, meet Wilber the Weimaraner, Mike and Karen’s dog. Wilber, meet the small human, Raquel and Peter’s baby.

They hit it off right away. Simon drooled. Wilber drooled. Wilber gently but enthusiastically licked up all the drool.

Then Wilber barked and Simon burst into tears. We’ll try again after Simon’s nap.

Btw, we’re in Crested Butte, CO, at Mike’s family’s cabin. I was hoping to ski until I accidentally kicked my suitcase while packing in a rush yesterday.

from back in early Oct.

Due to a bevy of comment spam we’re going to close out open commenting system for a little while.  We’ll see if it returns.  Also, more baby pictures soon.

We’ll allow anyone to comment although we’ll be moderating (for relevance.  Profanity is okay).

Give it a spin.  Also, we’ll be changing the format of the weblog a bit so that tags are once again visible.  We may also start using categories but we haven’t quite settled on what they would be.

I think he just stopped blogging because his bees died. This won’t happen again. Either the interrupted blogging or the dead bees.

Well, not exactly urban but in the county: fourteen rainbows on the north fork and west fork of the San Gabriel.  The first two were taken on nymphs (hare’s ear and pheasant tail) and the last twelve were taken on various mayfly dries (BWO, adams, random things I’ve tied.)

All between three and seven inches.  I said it was urban, not epic.  Pictures to follow when I figure out how to get them out of my cell phone.
