New Denver - First things first!

I am back from a very full three weeks at the Ranch. Eric and the girls return tonight, one week later. I post here a smattering of our time there.

 Before anything else can happen there are iris to contend with. I spent my first couple of mornings with mattock in the marsh. I would return to the marsh at the end of my stay but this time in performance mode. Quite a different rapport with the mud!
