Signs of Spring

Yesterday while out and about with Papa, I thought I saw a couple of fruit (apple, cherry, crabapple?) trees in bloom. I couldn't get my mind around that being the case, so shrugged it off and p...


High seventies today, mostly sunny, light winds. Finally, it was nice enough to enjoy sitting on the deck. My favorite pastime.

Doing nothing kind of day

I slept in past nine a.m. Since then, I've been moving slowly, getting stuff put away after last night's bridge. I was too tired to do it last night and just wanted to crawl into bed. I don't ...

Taking a break

Taking a break from cleaning house. We entertain our couples' bridge group tonight. The house really isn't bad. Just a little dust and clutter. I'll have to wait for Papa to come home from do...

Our turn

April snow this morning. Heavy, wet, messy. We can sure use the moisture so we should be happy for it, but being human, we groan and complain. I am hoping that somebody will call me from the T...

Heavenly music

By now, I think the angels in heaven are been regaled by stories of (almost) 99 years in Wyoming and accompanied in their singing on a gold harmonica. My uncle made the trip last night and we ar...

Sad week

This week is the anniversary of my son John's suicide. It's been 14 years, but it still hurts like it was yesterday. Sometimes I think I've come to terms with it, but not really. Sometimes I ...

Up and attem!

Woke up at 4:30 a.m. Back to bed after bathroom trip. Awake. Awake. Awake. Heard the neighbor's clock chime 5:00. Heard the neighbor's clock chime 5:30. When I heard the neighbor's clock...

Weather report

To continue, it is truly Springtime in the Rockies. Yesterday and the day before we were in the 70's...really! Clouds moving in this morning for an afternoon of heavy, wet snow. Seems like th...

Snowiest month

They claim that March is the snowiest month of the year for this area. It snowed Tuesday night. Yesterday it was in the 60's. Today, maybe 45 and snow... Welcome to Springtime in the Rockies!...

Big wind

**The house was shaking last night in the howling wind. It kept me awake for awhile, but it either died down or I just got used to it, because I slept pretty well. When I got up this morning an...

Second half of February

It is hard to believe that the frozen month of February is half over. The last half, hopefully, will be warm and spring-like for all of us! Valentine's Day came and went without much fanfare...

Writer's block

My goal today was to write a story for my memoirs class. Have been trying to find a subject for a couple of weeks and was sort of toying with telling about my experiences as a juror three times....

Nice morning

It's a beautiful morning here on the Front Range today. Sunny with a few fluffy clouds here and there. Twenty degrees heading for fifty. Why I love Colorado. It gets cold sometimes, but when...

Bragging again

My youngest grandson won his wrestling match last night, coming from being behind 0-4 to winning 7-4 in a very exciting dual meet at the high school last night. His team won the dual 40-30. Yea...

Quick note

It seems folks are a little hesitant to write here. I guess that's me, too. Don't know why. Did you see EWS's entry on OD? Looks like things are progressing toward Easy Diary. Let me know if...

Ya' think?

The day (almost) everybody in Denver has been waiting (and waiting...and waiting) for has arrived. I'm guessing the excitement around here has risen to insanity. Sure hope the Broncos call pul...
