Life at 5500 feet

We've been having a great time getting settled into our new home in Huntsville, Utah. We closed on the property at the end of May, drove our remaining stuff from storage in Denver in early June, and have been hard at work ever since! Ron's been working on refinishing the decks - all 1400 square feet of them! - and Elsa has been painting. So far the "gold" room has been transformed to a nice, mellow, sage green and the turquoise bathroom is well on its way to being neutralized as well! Both of us have been spending a lot of time doing weed control and clearing out what seems to be a few years of neglect on the property. Lots of sore muscles, but it's gratifying work!

There's a large flock of wild turkeys living in our little canyon. Several of them hang out on our deck in the early morning and evening hours - the cats are very curious about them.

Bernie is dreaming of a (wet) wild turkey dinner!

At Home in Huntsville, Utah

Well, we’ve been here for a month now, so it’s time for an update.  Been so busy with yard clean-up, refinishing the decks, painting inside, and general maintenance that we haven’t taken time to keep the blog updated.  Sorry to those of you who have actually checked for news!
