Reflections in the San Juan's
Our school…current inspirational message…
One of the many things I enjoy about where we live are the easy access
to different places to walk, picnic, have a spur of the moment adventure!
At every turn is a postcard pretty view…
VERY unusual – a fire in the fireplace June 13.
Two loads of firewood like this delivered in the spring
I don’t know what this is –
came across it on a hike and I thought it was picture worthy
The sky was interesting, as the weather was changing before our eyes
Our beautiful nature trail is right out our garden gate
Our routine is to sit by the river each evening
This a lovely way to unwind from the day
The river is on our nature trail – below our home
We have seen moose and deer here
Husband’s tasty salmon and vegetables
The fish has a crispy cheese covering
We are always delighted with Crystal Peak’s colorful sunsets
My husband makes us fresh bread regularly
I hadn’t had French toast in a long time
My favorite way to enjoy French toast is with powder sugar
and fresh blueberries and strawberries
Delicious salad and bread stuffed with spinach, cheese and peppers for dinner
Wii bowling is most satisfying when we both play well
A tie!
Life since I last posted in April:
We set up the piano in our sunroom for my husband. Our home is small and there’s not a better place – so we have to wait for ‘warmish’ temperatures.
Originally this space was an uncovered deck.
Living in the mountains, it seems that every day is Earth Day. We like the scent of fresh air on our dried clothes.
Daily walks on our nature trail beats driving to the gym for a workout or driving to a park to walk.
Toasty Warm Sapphire Sky Days Mixed with Single Digit Biting Winds
Cobalt sky and 8 this calm morning. We crunch frozen snow on our mountain nature trail before the sunshine bathes our valley. The serenity covers me like a cozy quilt.
Reading in bed is challenging. Getting comfortable, not having the light shine in my spouse’s eyes, using a light that goes around my neck works yet, by the time I am settled in bed I am usually too tired to read.
21st century grandparents – we are about 21 hours, 1,568 miles apart from our son and his family. I take a picture via our zoom connection as our son is helping his daughter read the book I just sent. She wears the T-shirt her brother has outgrown; from before she was born when they visited my brother in Louisiana.
Girlfriends Renew each other’s Spirits
A famous study by Harvard Medical School has been following female nurses’ health for decades. The study has found that the more friends these women have, the less likely they have been to develop physical impairments as they age.
My sweet husband did this when he and Hope (border collie) went on an early walk and I saw it later walking with Hope and Joy (sheltie) – it just makes me smile – makes my heart smile – a love note in the snow – takes a moment – means so much…
Our son texted asking if we wanted to zoom…so thoughtful.
Nature almost always plays a part in a really good day for me. This morning’s walk on our nature trail included a rainbow cloud. It is a fairly rare phenomenon. It’s a little miracle to me that I was in the right place at the right time to get to see this.
