Blood Bath on the Route

Now, don't get excited.  It was only me slitting the throats of NM locusts.  I also sawed off some tree branches and refined the cairns.  I left the lopper in the trunk and only took the compact pruning saw because the weather looked like there'd be a thunderstorm so I had to carry my umbrella.  Clouds rolled in and out all afternoon while I worked for over 4 hours but other than some distant rumbles and a few raindrops on my windshield as I drove to the Route trailhead, the weather was beautifully sunny.

Next, I pick up trash.  There really isn't that much - just a few beer bottles and beer cans.  I'm debating - should I leave the half-finished pint of peppermint schnapps in case the owner comes back or toss it?

Have to start packing for RMNP trip.

Made a huge batch of soup-stew - garlic, onions, Napa cabbage, bean-rice mixture, buckwheat udon noodles, Thai chiles, ginger, boletus edulis mushrooms.  It looks gray but tastes delicious.

Yesterday we saw Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work at the CCA in Santa Fe.  I love her foul mouth and risqué jokes!  Afterward, I bought way too many plums and pluots at Sunflower Farmers Market.
