books forever

just spend a day and a half with books and book people in deadwood. very cool town. sort of reminds me of boulder in a very stretchy way. it is in the hills and the aspen was turning gold against the evergreens. with all the gambling places, i guess it is a cross between boulder and reno. parked free on the outskirts and rode the trolley to our book destinations. loaded up on books and author signatures. i am sure the authors get tired of all the book tours and signings, but it does sell books. i bought several (that i had previously passed over) after listening to the authors.

i have spent my allowance for the month of october!

cynthia spent more than i did.....but one of her books might just find its way into my library. it is a paul goble book about indian tents and their designs. very appealing to the artist. i just want to make them all...in miniature, of course, and add them to my castle village. I cannot find a picture of the book on line. it may be out of print.

first day of fall sunset

we had my one of my nephew's and his family over for dinner. i declined to cook because of the blender souffle incicent and the pie incident. ( i forgot to turn the oven down after the initial 10 minutes, so the crust was very, very brown on top. )

at the end of the meal we were treated to a sky show that included indigo skies, a double rainbow, and tinted clouds. also, in the alfalfa field behind our house our resident doe with twins decided to make a visit. the mom has turned so dark that it was hard to pick her out in the dusk. her fawns have lost their spots but are still a lighter color.
