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.

What Makes You Happy
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.
Mountain Magic
Rainbow Clouds
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.
Measuring Success
In graduate school, I had a professor who, for whatever reason, didn’t want to give me an ‘A’. I was three points away from my ‘A’. I KNEW what was coming – and I was correct:
“Professor, you said that if we came to every class and always participated that we would get extra credit.”
There’s Magic in Ordinary Days
In a world with global warming, Covid, war, bullying…my love and I live in the mountains, enjoy each other and try not to think too much…
The autumn color is awe-inspiring. My flower boxes against the golden aspen can’t be ignored.
Blessed or Lucky
It is so deeply satisfying to be able to go for a hike in the mountains, especially on the spur of the moment – because we live here. Husband and I did just that this morning. With back and knee support my body responded well to climbing up and down repeatedly.
Life at 9,000 Feet
With so much gratitude we have been enjoying a cool, rainy summer. For us, living in the mountains can be like mostly being on vacation because living in nature provides a feeling a sense of calm. It’s a natural paradise.
Healthy Living
This is totally natural Crystal showing her magnificent colors naturally – visible from our garden, my writing nook, our front deck – nothing was done to enhance any of my Crystal Peak photographs – we get to live with this view and we don’t take it for granted.
Are You Ok?
Elsa and Joy – my little charge and my dog. I’ve been Elsa’s nanny / tutor since she was two-years-old, almost seven years now. Joy has always watched over Elsa. What we pass on to a child – that’s what matters.
Happiness Is A Choice
What’s Good Going On With You?
Little things delight me: a walk in nature, an unexpected snowfall, a good book, fresh flowers, a tasty meal, happiness is a choice…
We live here! This still amazes and delights me! My husband and I took our border collie Hope on this stunning, Saturday morning, walk in the mountains.
