Last night and this morning, Lovey slept on my legs, while Banichi slept on top of my head. We made a love sandwich that was quite warm - I had the fan on all night due to the kits' sleeping decisions. It was beautiful again this morning! Cool temperatures, low humidity; birds flying and singing, squirrels chattering, a fawn 'mewling' to its momma; a good morning for a nice long walk.
I was on stand-by yesterday to act as a guide and take an Italian couple out touring in and around Boulder; thankfully, they were too pooped to want to do that. I'm finishing up (printing out) a family tree for a couple of distant cousins in Idaho; and I have to finish putting Kathy's chaplet together for her and Jim's anniversary on Thursday. (This time it will be silk flowers, so they can be re-used.) And I'll be taking care of Suki and Boo from Thursday night through Sunday afternoon, as Jim is running in two races at Pike's Peak this weekend...
