Enjoying the Fall

Unfortunately, the vertigo train didn't stop at the station so I could disembark this weekend.  Woke up Friday AM all whirly, so I took an anti-puke pill and slept all the way over to Mazama.  The Colonel and I had a perfect weekend, though.  The first one in twelve years that we didn't have guests or plans. 

We slept in and went to Sun Mountain to walk around the Beaver Pond with Gus.  It was a perfect fall day and full colors were out, so the spinning of the leaves were just that more delightful.  We had lunch at Sun Mtn Lodge, where we rarely go, so it was nice to relax and watch the rain clouds drifting in.  We invited ourselves to dinner at some friends' home, so that worked out well for me...Heard the usual stupid-hunter stories that abound this time of year, but thank god for fast acting Dept. of Game folks.

Sunday was breakfast at We Sell Polenta and then a walkabout with Gus to Hancock Creek down the way.  It's completely deer-fenced off and looks great.

Vertigo is somewhat abated, although I'm still fuzzy.  Naturally, the Colonel is leaving tomorrow for his annual hunting trip to South Dakota, but I will try to stay out of the ER.  As he says, "If it flies, it dies".......
