HOME SWEET HOME

While we were away all summer

things continued to grow.

Moringa started from seed

We witnessed a full rainbow!!

It was hard to capture in a single picture.

It is good to be back home in Florida!

ON THE WAY HOME

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2019!! 

I'm still trying to catch up on 2018 blog pictures, so

here are a few "before we leave" wrap up pictures from summer 2018.

Lending library down the road from us

Sunrise

Sangre de Cristo mountains

We stopped at this rest area on the way home.

It intrigued me!

We visited Chip and Joanna Gaines' Magnolia in Waco, Texas.

Yes, part of it was a tourist trap, but

it was still interesting to see the real thing

and compare it to what you see on TV.

This is NOT Chip!

Demo Day!

We spent two nights with hubby's sister.

We had a sweet set up - 

big screen TV (for ballgames or gaming), 

recliner, cup holder, extra pillows, blankets, 

electrical and USB port for gadgets.

I need a set up like that at home!

Brother-in-law is really into kitchen gadgets.

He demonstrated several and 

some he was willing to part with if I wanted them.

I did not find a gadget that I could not live without!

They turned us onto Walmart Pick Up.

We gave it a try when we returned home. 

It was slick and a time saver upon return, 

but we have not used it since then.

 They also told us about Buc-ee's!

You know everything is always bigger in Texas and

Buc-ee's is no exception.

We stopped at the one in Houston.

I did not even get a picture of the gas pumps.

There were over sixty!!

Stay tuned for more . . . .

WRAP UP OF SUMMER 2018 IN COLORADO

We had three ice storms!  

The first two were mild, 

but the last storm caused some damage.

A couple of upstairs window screens were ripped up and 

an outside light bulb was broken.

 Bath time for Mojo!

Drying off!

One of my summer projects was a pin quilt.

I made it to display my collection of pins

 from the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia.

When we had periods of heavy rain

water would collect in the bed of the trailer.

It became a bird bath for

the dark eyed juncos.

Double Rainbow!

I was fascinated with every full moon.

My pictures could never quite capture it's true magnificence, 

but I kept trying.

Cutting and stacking fire wood is a continual job.

Final wrap up!

Come with us down the Scenic View Trail.

See ya next year!!
