Posted on April 3, 2014 by Mary Christine

This was the view from my bedroom window when I woke up this morning.  So much for working in my garden.  It’s a lovely excuse to be lazy though.  Hopefully the sun will come out tomorrow and dry everything off … Continue reading →

Friday Morning

Posted on March 14, 2014 by Mary Christine

I’m longing for my roses again, can you tell?  Soon, soon, soon.   It should be a good year for them.  We have had moderate amounts of snow – all winter long.  Which makes for better snow pack than warm … Continue reading →

Unbearably cold

Listening to the local news telling me it is currently 16 degrees below zero Fahrenheit.  That’s dangerously cold.  I have an eye exam this morning, 20 miles away.  I will go because I will take the city streets rather than … Continue reading →

Three Degrees

Posted on January 28, 2014 by Mary Christine

Too frigid to walk outside this morning.  Thank God my neighbor shoveled the sidewalk in front of my house.  I am not even going to bother shoveling my driveway.  If it gets warmer some evening or morning, I shall shovel … Continue reading →

Posted on January 23, 2014 by Mary Christine

It is not headline news when it is cold and snowy in Colorado.  We are to expect such – it is, after all, winter.  My daughter just called, she was on her way to a conference in a southern Colorado … Continue reading →
