Last week, Malcolm and I took a road trip to Ouray with his mother. We traveled on the Million Dollar Highway, which with inflation, should be the Trillion Dollar Highway. The aspens burned yellow, ochre, deep red against the surrounding evergreens. I highly recommend a jaunt down the highway in mid-September which is the peak …
I’ve got two for you today. I bought a car last week for the first time ever on my own! We’ve had about 8 total inches of snow this week which meant two two-hour delays. I feel so independent now that I can actually get places in snow. No more canceling plans or calling into …
Since November, a permafrost and leftover snow blankets the ground in patches. Directly beneath the thin snow is a layer of ice. We took the dogs on a walk last weekend and I slipped on a patch of ice and completely ate it. I fell gently into a pile of snow, somehow, so I didn’t …
This is what our grape leaves are currently doing. We didn’t get any viable fruit from these this year, but we learned a great deal about how to tend to fruit trees and plants. Next year we’re going to have so much damn delicious fruit, including grapes. P.S. We think these are grape plants, but …
This weekend was the first weekend warm enough to spend time outside. In desperate need of Vitamin D, M and I turned our flower beds/garden, did some much needed pruning, and relocating some iris bulbs. We brought all of the animals and potted plants outside for some sunshine as well. They were out there until …
Looking back on my most recent photos, I don't seem to have many photos that don't include my dog or cats. It's been cold and snowy in Colorado for the past few weeks, so I've been cuddling up to the animals inside. This photo was taken amongst the many pet pics on a warm-ish February …
Remember last year when I posted about transforming and recreating my life? Well, friends, I’m doing the thing again. Big changes are coming up and I can’t wait for them to be here. Maybe that’s why I love autumn so much. It bewitches me with the reminder that nature recreates itself every year. Here are …
Hi friends! I have so many recent photos to share, but this is my favorite. Atticus and I went on a solo hike to Rampart Reservoir last weekend. It's such a beautiful place, and I'd highly recommend it. To get to the reservoir proper, you have to pay $6. It's totally worth it if you …
