I am up in the mountains for the highland games and boy's birthday, staying at Melissa's.... I'm using her mac computer (we can't remember the system password to log onto the wireless) and I can't figure out pictures on it.. I'd ask but she is busy getting coffee made for the day.. Last night was cold, foggy, rainy but doable- we camped in the Lee's McCray tent, then headed home about 10. Bear run to the top of the mountain, the introductory music by the local pipe band, the pipeband camp massed band, then the torches and the gathering of the clan. (each clan runs up with a flaming torch in the dark, says a little something- some serious, some funny and clan McIntyre was a bit into their cups so all they did was laugh... the torches are set into this pyramid bonfire frame, very cool in the fog and the dark).
We came home to Melissa's- doggs were glad to see us, especially Max who really wished I brought his pink ski coat after all. They are having big-fun-dogg parties- bear is so much bigger than bella- then they got to sleep in the living room with the boys (Grendel, Kyle, Aaron)...huge tangle of boys-n-doggs. Happiness all around.
Wish the manz was here to see all the flowers blooming- the mountain flowers are different, chicory and laurel, huge lantanas, turks-cap lillies. All along the roadways is a wild tangle. Up on the parkway last night we saw a deer- standing right beside the road, in a gravel pull-out, playing with rocks (looked like she was eating rocks, but apparently there must of been something tasty on the rocks).
Long day today- we want to be up on the mountain soon to get a spot for the concerts, have coffee and firehouse biscuits, talk and draw and listen to music all day long and into the night- shan't be home till very late.
