Today’s
Reflection:
No complaints with another great summer day.
Richard is back at the hacienda and slowly moving back into his
life there. They live in a jungle, so poisonous snakes can be an issue for the
dogs and for the humans. Yesterday his crew found a 3-1/2 foot poisonous snake on
the property. Not something I need to see.
Yesterday I scrubbed, use floor stripper, and cleaned and waxed the
entry way and then the bathroom. Before my illness, I had run out of floor stripper
and had a problem finding some. I finally found some and the floors look much
better. Next will be the kitchen.
It is sad that now, 25 years late, documents show that the local
government was aware that the air around ground zero was toxic, and they buried
it. Mamdani released a ton of documents regarding 9/11. Another shameful page
for history.
This year our little mountain town got rain. We had 18.85” from Oct.
1-Sept. 1. That is well above last years 12.66”. Even with that moisture, our town
and the surrounding forest are still in a decades long drought.

10 Sept History Video
Colorado Wildlife:
A small, long-legged,
short-tailed but long-winged owl. It has a distinctive "flattened"
head shape and facial pattern with brown cap, white eyebrows, large yellow
eyes, and a white throat. This owl does not have ear tuffs. A
bobbing, or deep knee bend, often seen in disturbed birds, is distinctive to
this owl species. It is most likely the only owl you will see during the
day perched on a fence post or on the ground in open habitats (grasslands,
rangelands, and prairie dog colonies). Burrowing owls are diurnal, hunting both
day and night. Burrowing owls do not dig their own burrows in Colorado,
instead occupying burrows dug by small mammals, especially prairie dogs.
The adult's body is
mottled brown and white overall with a spotted (or barred) dark brown and buffy
breast. The young (juveniles) lack the spotted chest and have few spots on
their backs and they have a dark neck collar. Both the adult male and female are
the same size.
There are two subspecies
of burrowing owls in the USA: Western and Florida burrowing owls. The Western
subspecies can be found throughout the Western United States during the summer
months. The Western population can be found summering throughout much of
Colorado in suitable habitats, though they are more common on the eastern
short-grass prairies. Burrowing owls arrive in Colorado during March -
May each year and depart again during August - October.
Picture of the
Day:
The Northern cardinal is
the most popular state bird.
Illinois, Indiana,
Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia all picked it as
their favorite species. The western meadowlark takes second place as the
honoree in six other states.
