Weed or Flower

This splash of color is what we see when we look out the kitchen window.

Hike

On Wednesday I joined 12 other hikers from the Canyonland Hikers and Walkers for a hike on Booger Hill located off of Hwy 9 west of Canon City. It was a beautiful day in Colorado.

Lunch in Bailey

We enjoyed lunch with Gus and Nancy at the local restaurant in Bailey. It was a pleasant surprise to see Matt & Rosie Vuxinic and their two granddaughters at the "Chips" cafe.

new puppy

On our way home form Golden, we stopped to see Gus and Nancy in Bailey. This cute puppy belongs to the Groves. Colton and Alex get taller and cuter every time we see them.

Shelves

Shelves! These garage shelves will help us get organized around here.

Windows

In the evening we open up all of the windows to let in the cool Colorado air. And in the morning they are closed to keep in the cool air during the day. Dan is closing the windows in the clere story. We are happy to have a cool house (71 degrees) while it is in the 90’s outside.

area rug

Last week we went on a shopping trip to the Springs and found this area rug. It is in Dan's room and we think the colors go well with the furniture that is in here. It helps eliminate the moving of the chairs on the cement floor.

Shades

Shades were installed today. Green in Dan's room, chocolate in the Master Bedroom, and cinnamon in the other rooms. Two black out shades, one in the master bedroom on the east wall and one in Dan's room on the west window, will help to keep the house cool during hot summer days.
