Saying—So long…

Alas, today is the last day I have my walking companion by my side, urging me onward and forward through the snow, the wind, the cold and even the precipitation.

We were limited in time this morning, as my companion had an appointment in Ft Collins later this afternoon.

We trekked over to Coal Creek Coffee, a 25-minute hike from my house, where we then sat outside and lunched on a wonderful bowl of cheddar tomato soup.


 

With the sun shinning, the temperature hovering around 40 and virtually no wind, we were able to soak up the rays without being cold.

Being outside on days like today is pure pleasure, although being outside here on any day is a real joy, because of the magnificent sky and vistas.

However, I have been hearing quite a bit, as of late, about the Wyoming mosquitoes, which apparently rear their ugly heads during the month of June.

While it appears that their presence is short lived, I hear they are aggressive—much more so than their Mid-Atlantic cousins.

There is always something to look forward to—or not…
