Good day.
Woke early, sent off some manuscripts, emailed a few friends, then loaded the pickup with an axe and saw and drove off to Buena Vista and beyond, into the snowy nether reaches of the San Isabel’s to cut down a Christmas tree.
The Collegiate’s were topped with clouds and it looked as if getting in and out might be more difficult than usual. But we parked on a FS access road, and hiked in west of Clear Creek ranch and found a perfect specimen near the river.
FaceTimed with the boys on the drive back home. A short visit, but nice.
Home earlier than usual. Veal piccata for dinner tonight. Maybe a movie in front of the fireplace.
