9 reasons
As with us, 2019's two osprey chicks are not sleeping at home in the nest,
but out on the platform with their parents at Boulder County Fairgrounds in Longmont, Colorado. It's still dark there, but the odd car driving by on Hover Street in the background.
Longmont is a fair sized town in Boulder County, an ad I just looked at offered "8 reasons to move to Longmont, Co" and who knows, maybe there are 9 reasons. In that piece is an article "Why Longmont, CO Is One of America’s Best Places to Live" and I suppose there could be any number of reasons why that might be true. But for love of StAndrewsBay, and oysters and fresh mullet, and that it's home as no place has ever been, I'm tethered here.
As I say, like the osprey chicks, we are not sleeping at home. The chicks never will again, because they'll migrate far south and not return to the area for at least a year or two, if ever. But we are hopeful, working every day to get 7H back to livable. This morning I'm going early, as someone is supposed to come to correct whatever is preventing the ceiling lights in the hallway and kitchen from coming on. Yesterday, I got the television going again. This morning Ray is coming to take charge of getting the wifi back on line.
And then Saturday night is our target for spending the night at 7H again. But with gratitude to Ray, Britany, Lilly & Malinda, who've shared their new PCB home with us.
