Moss in the patio cracks was greening up...
Even the strawberry bed, cleaned up and spread with a blanket of compost just four days ago, shows new growth...
And on the stone wall by the front door, two of these big, gorgeous moths...
But the morning was fleeting by and in the kitchen apple butter was ready to put into jars...
And here they are, posing in front of a bevy of Colorado peaches, flanked by the last of the really good tomatoes...
The weather turned a trifle warm this afternoon, just right for a good read and a nap.

Beeutiful, Mama! I love that moth! So what apples did you use for your apple butter?
I'm reading two books right now: Anne Patchett's RUN and Amy Tan's SAVING FISH FROM DROWNING. Like them BOTH! What'cha reading?
I attended the second annual Pike's Peak Writing Marathon today. We got to be in the special area (also beeutiful!) of the downtown library, and then we fanned out through the city to write in various places for four hours. Some people actually completed pieces; but I mostly wrote opinion and observation with NO STORY! It was fun to write, though and the day was gorgeous!
Love you!
Thanks for sharing!
Oh, I should have credited the apples to our neighbor Gwen. Her property includes the original farm's orchard remains -- a Winesap apple and a Kieffer pear. She never picks the fruit, but generously mows around the trees when the fruit ripens so that others can easily access the trees.
