Sister visits

The garage door crew returned on Friday to finish up, we thought, installation of the 20 ft door.  They left, though, with handles for all three doors, interior manual slide-lock devices, and coded exterior access openers uninstalled.  We expect they will return to complete the job next week. 

A spur-of-the-moment visit brought Win over also on Friday with her diabetic cat and, of course, Archie.  We visited a couple of quilt shops, one in Winthrop and one in Twisp, enjoyed more rain episodes, gathered rocks to define the newly groomed septic area, and visited the Twisp Saturday Farmers' Market where people-watching once again encouraged our positive body image mantras. Our puzzlement during her short visit was trying to identify a bird that we watched during the day climbing up snags, descending quickly to the ground and hopping on logs.  Descriptors of black head, black body, wide gray neck band, red breast, narrow long beak and tree climbing ability like a woodpecker did not result in successful searches in the bird book.  I texted my birdman neighbor Ken who quickly responded with Lewis's Woodpecker.  We went online and found satisfying pictures to confirm the ID.
