Drive

In the morning I discovered that the mockingbird, that built a nest in the tree outside the porch, had eggs that hatched.  None of my pictures came out well.  I may try again another day.  I'm pretty sure there were four little beaks wanting food though. 

Four is having to go back to Texas.  C & E are staying for a bit longer.  Today we decided to don our masks and head to the mountains.  It didn't seem right that Four was here for so long and only got to see the little part of the state being our house and the occasional trip to a grocery or hardware store.  Since the majority of my time with them prior to this was hiking at Big Bend, mountains seemed appropriate.  We went to the Basin.  A few of us also visited the Chutters.

The Basin seems to be a happy place for me.  I have memories there from my childhood and have occasionally visited there as an adult.  A few years ago we visited with a group of friends and found a geocache.  The geocache seems to be gone, but I didn't check the website and it was super hard to find the last time.  There are many trails through there to explore and I never seem to get as far as I would like.  Perhaps that isn't worded right... There are many trails and I always seem to leave there content with what I have done, but wanting to go back and do more another time.  That is my happy for today, but it will be sad when Four leaves.
