Look What I Found!

In a quick walk around the house I found lots of wildflowers already blooming and the promise of more still in the bud. That only builds the anticipation of what is to come in the higher grounds around Mancos! The days have turned gloriously warm and sunny and the beauty of Colorado this time of year is what gets you through the winter! We are doing our quarterly loop through the San Juan skyway soon- and that should be spectacular. Spring and Summer when it comes here , comes in a flood of activities, want to dos, not enough time to do it alls, but is a real joy to be a participant in. Our blog sometimes gets left out as we try to keep up with everything, including our facebook and flickr pages. You can usually find something current from Tom or/and I in one of our on line hangouts! We are hooked on the electronic age. Not always getting it to do what we want it to(or me anyway), but hooked! We enjoy, and still try to find time to get outside and enjoy the wildflowers. . . sf

Flowers on the Mesa!

Yippeee!  The wild flowers are starting to bloom!  We drove up to Mesa Verde this morning to catch some pictures of Balcony House from a lookout point across the canyon and we were delighted to find some flowering trees and a few small wildflowers.    There are  even some Indian Paintbrush blooming on our driveway!  The day was still a little hazy from airborne dust but the sky was blue, we spent the morning enjoying Mesa Verde photo opportunities and came home to a lunch of ice cold watermelon.  I took my jacket with me and didn't need it.. . . . the high altitude sun warmed our faces.. . . and wildflowers brightened our day. . Yippeee!. . .  .I think it's spring!  sf
