I have out-of-state family visiting so family has been my priority this week. So this Wednesday's post is short and sweet. Next week I'll be back with some good information on making the best of NaNoWriMo. At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one… Continue reading Short and Sweet

Autumn Splendor
I absolutely love fall! The only thing is that winter seems to come too quickly, chasing fall away before its time. And it looks like winter is going to hit early this year in Colorado. Eighty degrees Wednesday, and a high of 28 on Thursday with measurable snowfall. But until then, here's a little bit… Continue reading Autumn Splendor
Highlands Scottish-Irish Festival
My husband and I used to go to the Highlands Scottish-Irish Festival in Estes Park, CO every year. Unfortunately, it's the same weekend as the writer's conference I've been attending for the past several years--Colorado Gold. (Colorado Gold is my favorite writers conference ever--if you're a writer and you've never gone before, I sincerely urge… Continue reading Highlands Scottish-Irish Festival

Here is evidence of some of what I've been drinking in. With that, go forth and enjoy some summer beauty,… Continue reading More Visions of Summer

Most of these photos were taken at a campground in Rocky Mountain National Park with the aroma of campfire smoke wafting through the air. I never tire of that smell. 🙂 Enjoy!

And now for this week's post... Whether you call it "Fall" or "Autumn," the message is the… Continue reading Fabulous Fall, Amazing Autumn
God’s Splendor
My husband and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary this past weekend in Estes Park, CO. Below are some of the breathtaking views from a hike we took at 11,500 feet above sea level, as well as a few other memorable sights. This was my little guy's (Roscoe) first hike. He did so well! One… Continue reading God’s Splendor
Nature’s Brilliance, Week 2
Sometimes there are just no words to adequately describe the beauty. Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience. ― Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature at its Finest
We spent some time at our place in Estes Park, Colorado this past weekend. In fact, we're actually there now as I write this post. Before me is the amazing mountainside on the other side of the river right outside my sliding glass door, a cup of coffee at my side, one of my fur… Continue reading Nature at its Finest
