Basalt, Co.

Cutest town ever, bar none, and as friendly as can be.  Their Farmer's Market did not disappoint--organic everything- fruit, vegetables, beef, from local farmers, a holistic healing lady with her products, local honey, pasta, and loads more.  I succumbed to the Sweater Jeanie, and bought a darling wrap type thing made of cashmere, viscose, and something else I can't remember.  It is light as a whisper and warm as toast.  And, it has the most adorable wooden buttons that still look like the tree. She has a website where you can order them in all different colors but she even has more colors now, than are currently on her website.  I've seen the same wrap in Dallas made out of cotton, but it just looked bulky on me.  These drape, and I like that.  Perfect for slipping in your carry on for a cold plane or a freezing theater.

It's time to pack up and leave all this beauty behind.  All of the big fancy private fancy jets have left so I guess it's really time.  I was prepared to blog that we had seen absolutely no elk or other wild life, other than road kill, but last night saved us.  Coming back down Owl Creek Road--the back and more scenic way home from Aspen-- there they were, at almost dusk, a total of 14 Elk--and the bulls were huge.  Two small doe's were right on the roadway about 3 feet from us, but they got scared as I fumbled to get the camera ready.  Oh, well....it's not like we don't have a gazillion pictures anyway but these gals were definitely photo worthy, and so girly.  Such gorgeous gals.
