Late again! A photo by Jerry a few weekends ago, the snow has mostly melted and it will be 60+ today!

Rocky Mountain Wednesdays (belated)

A day late here….I give you Rocky Mountain Wednesdays on Thursday this week – I guess that’s better than not at all.

A few Sundays ago Jerry, Ethan, and I drove up to Gross Dam which is near Eldorado Springs. That’s the CU campus in Boulder that you see, its a very winding road that takes you up out of Boulder to the Dam. It was a cool and pretty day and we had a very nice drive. We got home just in time for a really yummy pasta dinner made by Amber.

PS – Happy Birthday to my brother Fred!

Rocky Mountain Wednesdays

Some pictures from our ‘big snow’ last week. It was pretty much completely melted by Sunday. It was very pretty as you can see. The first picture looks a bit funny, like the mountain has stubble – that’s where there was a fire this past year.

I was admiring the cows when this little fella came over to admire me, isn’t he cute (I think it’s a boy cow)?

It’s supposed to be 70+ degrees here tomorrow and Friday, so any little bit of snow that has been surviving in the shade will be disappearing as well.

Free Shipping at the webshop Thursday through Sunday (November 5-8, 2009) for any size US order, $1.50 shipping for any size international order!!

Rocky Mountain Wednesdays

The weather is nothing like this today! Jerry took these photos last week in Colorado Springs, you’re looking at the famous Pikes Peak. We lived in Colorado Springs ages ago and had a very nice view of Pikes. We also often visited Glen Eyrie where these bighorn sheep are grazing.

Here is what the national weather service is saying about or current weather conditions – Snow… heavy at times will continue into Thursday. Total snowfall accumulations of 14 to 28 inches are expected… with up to 36 inches possible near the foothills. North winds of 15 to 30 mph will produce areas of blowing and drifting snow.

I took a few pictures from my windows this morning (I’m not going out there), it has continued to snow heavily throughout the day and is much deeper.

Thank you again for the get well wishes, still not feeling great and lots of coughing going on, but I do think the medication is helping.

Enjoying a beautiful fall here in the Rocky Mountains! These photos were taken Sunday and Monday before our current cold, wet, and grey weather which is nice in it’s way too.

Rocky Mountain Wednsdays

(on Thursday).

Sorry but my internet was not cooperating at all last nightl!

It is lovely to see and feel the sun for the first time since last week. It will be in the mid to high 60s this week and they say in the 70s on Saturday. Even the prairie dogs are loving it!

Rocky Mountain Wednesdays

First of all Kellen says ‘thank you’ for all the birthday wishes. He feels pretty grown up being all of 14 now!

Today was packed full of errands, I think I drove off half a tank of gas, they started around 10am and I was finally home to stay at 9pm but as you can see it was a beautiful day to be out and about – still a LONG day spent mostly in the car.

Amber, Ethan and I killed an hour between youth group drop off and pick up (at 2 different locations for each of the older boys) at a not so fancy but very tasty Mexican restaurant. Ethan was very restless and a nearby diner was really loud and annoying (one of those guys who’s an expert on EVERYTHING) but dinner was yummy. I’ve got a fair amount of things to do and then I might watch a movie on my laptop and stitch in bed (still not sleeping very well since my wheezing gets really bad at night).

Boy this sounds like a negative post, I guess I’m feeling a bit cranky – sorry!

On a brighter note – the Online Needlework Show is going on NOW!! Shop With Me!
