Doing nothing kind of day in At the foot of the hill
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 ...

Our turn in At the foot of the hill
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 in At the foot of the hill
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...

Some friends from the ND home town are stopping in town on their way back from their winter respite in Arizona and we will meet them for breakfast in the morning. Hope they will spend at least p...

Sad week in At the foot of the hill
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! in At the foot of the hill
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...

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...

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 in At the foot of the hill
**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...
Sunday in At the foot of the hill

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...

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...

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 in At the foot of the hill
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...

What can I say but "Congratulations, Seattle Seahawks.
Ya' think? in At the foot of the hill
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...
