So lately it has been cold at night. Very chilly in fact that you can't really get away with walking in sandals anymore here at 10,000 feet. That's ok though, but it will be weird to go back to Duluth and find that I can still wear sandals.
Be that as it may, because it has been so cold, the mice have been finding unique ways to enter into the apartment. One of them pushed the screen of the window open on my bedroom window and just climbed in James Bond style. It was weird. Since then, there have been just a ton of mice running around the apartment. A ton meaning like 5 and I've had to set traps and I hate doing it because I know their going to die and part of me just weeps at the thought of having to kill these little guys that are just trying to get into someplace warm and safe.
It has also been rainy and stormy the last few days, but the rainbows have just been fantastic! When Wendy was here, we got to see rainbows, hear a coyote party in the meadow behind my house, and the lightning of course is always spectacular. That's if you don't think about the risk of fires with all the dead wood, it's just wonderful.
We're having our end of the year/season potluck and it is a plaid party. That was my doing because I thought it'd be fun to spice up a party with something else other than just sitting around and eating. I like the idea of requiring that everyone wear something plaid. It's up to them how creative and crazy they want to be. Knowing some of the personalities at our park, I wouldn't be surprised for some craziness! Hope you all are well and send me a line or ring me in the next two days because I'm going to be off. I will also be bouldering and using my new crash pad! Yeah! Cheers to all of you!
