Since we caged the SW Colorado Columbine flowering plant, no squirrels have eaten the buds off of it. It finally started opening it buds on Sunday, Father's Day, 16 June 2013. It has loads of buds. NW Okie loves the burgundy and white Columbine.
Other than that, it has been warm (high eighties here in the southwest corner of Colorado. Not much rain, but vacationers to Vallecito Reservoir, north of Bayfield, Colorado have been arriving and docking their boats and filling up the available cabins. The town of Durango on Main Street has seen some bustling of traffic, also. Last Tuesday we got caught in the traffic as the "Ride the Rockies," from Silverton to Colorado Springs, passed through Durango via hwy 240 to Bayfield, Colorado. We did get some video of that portion of the "Ride the Rockies," as seen in the video above.
