Actually, it's always quiet here, especially now that the summer low river is just a background murmur.
My favorite time of day is right when the golden sun comes up over the mountain to the east, but the sky looks murky this morning, perhaps smoke from far-away fires. And the sunrise is already shifting south, by mid-winter coming up smack between the gap in those trees. Just try to watch a morning football game with that glare through the big windows. And this far north, the sun doesn't rise much above the tree level.
About 15 deer wandered by already this morning, all does and bigger fawns. The young bucks must get cut loose early. Even though the sprinklers are set for daily watering, the grass is patchy brown.
On the bright side, most of the weeds in the gravel finally stopped growing and dried up. It's very hot late in the day, close to 100 degrees. The inside of the house was about 85 when I got here yesterday. I'm thankful for the window air-conditioner, but it's too noisy to run all night.
The former house owners, John and Melody, moved to Mesquite NV, but they're here now visiting family and actually staying next door in their camper. We didn't get to meet them last year when we bought the house, so had to rely on the real estate agent to try and answer all our questions.
Anyway, I went over to chat and invited them in. They seemed excited and pleased that their house looked so pretty and we were enjoying it, along with the furniture they sold us. He was happy to answer some questions that have been bugging us, like how to turn off the main water line outside without calling The City of Twisp.
Amanda is working today and the girls are out-of-town, so I have no particular plans. However, I've been wanting to take a walk at Beaver Creek Cemetery, where many Valley pioneers and notable citizens are buried. And on Mondays, I always go to the Senior Center and thrift store. The day will pass quickly as it usually does.
