Yesterday, we were hit with a sort of blizzard. But, like most winters here, they never last. School was delayed for the kids this morning due to the icy roads. Just before noon, most the snow and ice had melted. Teddy gets excited when she sees snow. She only comes inside after she's had her... Continue Reading →
Last Friday, husband's planned hike to a 14-er didn't work out, so instead, he and I went to Castlewood Canyon to do a simple hike, something I could handle. It was beautiful with the changing colors of the leaves. Where I'm looking toward in the photo was once a damn built in 1890. The dam... Continue Reading →
This was my first hike this year. This was a really easy hike. The landscape was mainly flat so I did't get much workout in, which is fine for now since it's been awhile. The views were beautiful and very green. We laid down a couple of rocks for Kat, the girl who passed away... Continue Reading →
Some watercolors I did through a course on Skillshare. I used the Kuretake watercolor set I posted a photo of in a previous post. I am getting a lot more comfortable with watercolor but I am still far from my own style and confidence. I've also learned that paper quality is very important. In the... Continue Reading →
Took these earlier this month and just really love the colors. It had rained during the night, and as always, the rain makes everything more vibrant. Our Keeshond, Teddy, will be turning 4 years old on the 31st of this month. Each year, I love her more and more. She is great company and so... Continue Reading →

They have a spring performance coming up and I wonder how they'll ever get the dances done with all the snow days we've been having. Even though it's really beautiful outside, I am ready for the snow... Continue Reading →
Schools and some businesses are closed today. It's terrible out there.
Earlier this week I was standing next to my oldest daughter and found myself really tilting my head up to look at her. Suddenly it occurred to me that she had grown a few more inches! She's 4 inches taller than me now. Speaking of growth, the maple has also grown, a lot. It's still... Continue Reading →
Just the other day the first autumn fog came through the neighborhood. Some parts were thicker than others and made it look mysterious. The family calls this, "Being in the clouds," because we were literally inside a cloud.
Last week husband and I went to the reservoir to do some running (him) and biking (me). The weather was perfect. I had my phone with me so I took some pictures. One of these days I plan to take the DSLR and take much better photos. For now I think these don't look so... Continue Reading →
