Why I LOVE Colorado!

Our day at the park.
Pikes Peak. Isn't she grand?
At the park. There were lots of geese. Lots.and.lots.of.geese. {and consequently lots and lots of do-do--not fun in flip-flops!}
Notice Sunny and Grace sitting up on the picnic table? Ever been goosed (literally)?




Our picnic was three weeks ago.
Today--the last day of summer--it snowed! Crazy. I didn't have my camera with me, but if I would have, I would not have taken a picture of the powdered sugar-coated mountains no matter how beautiful 'cause it just isn't right!!! Summer and snow in the same sentence. Go figure.

It's All Fall is Here Good!

  2. My husband and I were in the Canadian Rockies in July one year, at Lake Louise, and it was snowing. I can't tell you how strange that felt to this southerner! Your pictures are just beautiful. Hope we get to visit there one day!

  3. How beautiful and what fun. When we lived in Denver in 1961 it snowed 6" on the Sunday before Labor Day. I'll never forget it and I have pictures to prove it :o)

  9. Wow, those are beautiful pictures of the mountains! It doesn't surprise me about the snow. My aunt has lived in Colorado for years now and we tell her the seasons are June, July, and Winter! It's pretty though!

  11. I love it that you have adjusted to your new home so quickly! Amazing really but also it comes from knowing that you are in the right place. Yes, Colorado is beautiful! We used to have a condo there and just felt ourselves relax when we started up the mountain. Your photos are beautiful and sweet.
