• Much needed

  April 24, 2018

  A little more April moisture came over night.  The sky is heavy this morning and it looks like a rain/snow mix is in the air.  Today's high only in the 40's maybe while it was 70 yesterday.  At breakfast yesterday I noticed the aspen tree out my window was showing a couple of places that…

• April 20

  April 20, 2018

  From the window in this very room in which I sit, I can see the Columbine Memorial... Well, the hill that it was built on and part of the fence that encloses it. On this day 19 years ago one of the worst tragedies in American history occurred as two young men "made a statement."…

• Just another day

  April 17, 2018

  Last night was a bad one.  Cramps in my bad leg brought me up and out of that first deep sleep.  These were followed by aches in the old wounds, stiff back and neck and a pounding headache.  I finally got back to sleep only to wake up an hour or so later wringing wet…

• Surprise!

  April 15, 2018

  I guess I spent most of the week inside my apartment.  I was so pleasantly surprised on the drive to church this morning to see apple blossoms in their full glory up and down the meridians in the street.  Another storm is in the forecast for this coming week but tomorrow is supposed to be…

• Dark, cold and windy

  April 13, 2018

  Not a pretty day today.  And it is Friday the 13th as well.  Think I'll go back to bed. Our Senior group (aka: Fabulous Fifties) meets tonight but we are not going to go.  The program is on Suicide prevention.  I can't do that.  That ship sailed a long time ago.

• Big Wind Day

  April 12, 2018

  I read that this day commemorates the strongest wind speed ever recorded...I forget where it was or how strong it was, but something over 240 mph...  Now that's some wind.  The forecast here indicates that we on the Front Range will be participating, but not trying for the record.  Thank goodness...

• It’s a beautiful morning

  April 10, 2018

  Bright blue sky and glorious sunshine gives one the impression that Spring really is coming...sooner or later.  Add to that the call of mourning doves this sunrise and finches flitting around gathering building materials, along with a forecast of 78 degrees for a high today, and I'm a happy aunty...

• Third week in a row

  April 8, 2018

  It should become a habit again after 3 times of making it to early church.  Good for us!  The hard part should be over soon ... the getting up and getting a move on early, and facing all those church members who say "Oh, my goodness!  Haven't seen you for ages!  I think I know…

• One of those nights

  April 6, 2018

  I went to bed a few minutes past my usual time last night. I was wide awake. After I lay there for about an hour and a half I got up and went to the bathroom. Back to bed. Still wide awake. I finally dozed off but slept restlessly for maybe an hour and a…
