Because we often have more than one set of guests, sometimes with a friendly dog or two, or a cat, and our love of gardening, the home will be clean but rarely as neat as a pin. There's parking in front of the house on a quiet gated street. Motion detector lights all around the home outside. During your stay I'm sure someone in the house will be glad to advise you and help out. We're all friendly and informed about Denver and Colorado. There's no maid service, so be sure to clean up after yourself so that everyone can enjoy the space. I have various cleaning supplies, furniture oil, upholstery and carpet cleaner supplies around. Also brooms, dust pans, vacuum, and a Bissell carpet cleaner s for use by all. Other things to note I have a friendly Afghan hound and a friendly cat upstairs. My eight year old Afghan hound named Melchior is the third incarnation of my dog Balthazar, or Baltho, written about in my popular memoir, Baltho, The Dog Who Owned a Man (Thomas Ramey Watson). And Noir his cat is the incarnation of Baltho's best bud Figaro/Figgy. Both love attention. Melkie loves to run to the front door to greet people coming or going. Neither is supposed to go into the guest areas downstairs. A third generation Coloradan, of pioneer/homesteader stock, I'm very interested in the soul realm, having written a great deal about my experiences. Also have two books of poetry in print, Love Threads and The Necessity of Symbols. And a novel, Reading the Signs: A Paranormal Love Story. You can buy autographed copies from me (they're on the table in the foyer).
