Still raining.

| Quaking Aspen |
But still beautiful, too. And the rain makes the trees smell even better than normal.

| Engelmann Spruce (I think. Don't go to the bank on my spruce identification.) |
I have several habits out here. One favorite is to have a glass of wine on the deck as it is very sheltered and private, surrounded by aspen and spruce. I seem to angle my chair the same way every time, which gives me a view of three particular trees. Quaking Aspen grow in groves and are often propagated by a single parent tree, so I think of these three as brothers. And since the aspen knots look like eyes, it is easy to feel a friendly, yet watchful, persona radiating from them.

| Psst, how many glasses of wine is that tonight? I think two? Nah, she topped that second one off, so I count three. |
Fingers crossed for better weather tomorrow!
