I love the Winter geranium blooms! I have had these plants for 10-15 years, I bring them in every Winter.

Carl and Zoey posing so you can see how big the tree is. Those riverside trees can really get HUGE!

It's more than just a birdbath..

It's always my favorite thing when I can sit outside on my birthday and it's sunny and 60 degrees!



 I can't believe we don't have any birthday candles, so we improvised! 

I had to get in my birthday wish!  😉

We went out for dinner tonight and downtown Canon City is all decked out with blue lights for the Detroit Lions! 

😉 That's my story anyway - Go Lions!

Happy Gotcha Day to Zoey! 

She's been with us a year now and we are so happy to have her in our lives! Here she is doing her favorite thing - snuggling.

Birdies enjoy a bath and drink! 

I wish I had a heated bird bath but there is no outside outlet to plug into - boo!

 So it was about 10 days ago when I said I was taking down my color C9s Christmas lights- well I lied (it was zero degrees out there that next day 🥶) they just came down today,  because they clashed with my Detroit Lions blue porch light! 

Go Lions!

Hooray! I was too excited and into this game to even think about taking a picture today.

GO LIONS!

We were both feeling antsy so we took a drive around town and up the pass. I've always found out the car window photography to be kinda fun- you never really know what you will get! Look at the bird I caught in flight right in the middle!

We had a huge tree in our yard that was 95% dead and we had to have it removed yesterday. I know it needed to go before it fell on the house but I still miss it. It only had like one branch with leaves on it last summer. :(

 Packing away my Christmas ornaments. These woven angels are some favorites of mine. Bought at the thrift store many years ago.

Yesterday we had a 6 degree high- today we went out and it was 40! It felt so warm!  

January 15, 2024

 


Yes the tree is still up! And the lights are still up outside too - it's been like NO degrees out there. They can stay awhile..

Silly ladybug yard art. I don't know why, but every time we drive by it I have to yell "LADYBUG"!
It always reminds me of Minnie.

While avoiding a police roadblock due to homicide suspects on the run from Pueblo, we came across this. 

Someone trying to be funny, or just bad at spelling? Hmmm..

What we call Zoey's "show pony trot".

This means: look at me being so well- behaved, give me a cookie!

Anyone else have neighborhood dog friends that you always look for when you're out and about?

This is Bear.

It's looking a little bleak around the St. Scholastica building. I know it's supposed to be renovated soon, but it's looking sad.. And someone in the neighborhood really needs to quit being a pig and clean up after their dog - it's disgusting. We won't be taking that walk again anytime soon.

It's been a minute since I last posted- this is my 55th year.
