My last post about anticipation left out one plant. This little cactus has been with us for about a year now and has put up with our move, lack of sun, too much sun, and even being left out in the snow. When we first bought it at the garden center, it had a blossom [...]

Moving: the past few weeks have been a series of ups and downs. We were excited to get into the new house! The old house has to be cleaned. Oh, and the new house has to be cleaned, too. I had a snow day the day after we finished with the old house and got [...]
Neighborhood

Walks with Joda can be fairly slow these days, so I usually take my i-Pod and listen to podcasts. We’re in a new neighborhood now, with new sights (and smells), so the slow walks are a little less boring.There’s this Le Corbusier knock-off that goes with the mailbox above, around the corner from our house. [...]
Lazily

The big snow storm seems to be petering out, but large fluffy flakes are still lazily swirling about.Meanwhile, we are inside, comfortable and warm from the fire that is lazily burning in the stove.There are places to go and work to be done, but for now, I am lazily reading my book and sipping a [...]

We got some unusual-looking Christmas gifts this year. See if you can guess what either of these two objects are or what they are used for (the coffee cup is for scale). No fair answering, Susan! The two yellow items are part of the same thing, and it may be kind of hard to see, [...]
Halloween and winter’s beginning

The snow storm kindly waited until after Halloween, so that the trick-or-treaters’ evening wasn’t ruined. It did start to snow within 24 hours, though. Enough snow came down that my whimsical side was tempted (notice how the wet snow rolled itself up like sod grass or a carpet). However, both snow and jack-o-lanterns alike are [...]
Squirrel!

There’s a juvenile squirrel living in a tree above our yard, and he (could be a she, but we don’t know him/her that well, and we’ve been thinking of him as a he) has been entertaining us all summer. He has a pathway from his home tree to the two ponderosas in our yard: across [...]
Spoils of Summer

I have a confession: I’ve never been a successful gardener. Okay, maybe that is a well-known fact to most people who know me, so there’s no need to say it so conspiratorially. My gardening failures did not result from a lack of effort, though I’ve learned this year that the effort required to grow a [...]
The Nest

About a month ago, we noticed a new addition to the awning above our front stoop.At first we weren’t sure who had made it, since we never saw the responsible parties. But soon, a step onto a ladder gave us this clue:American Robins! The gestation period for robin eggs is about 11 days, so we [...]

I’ve been enjoying the activity in our neighborhood in Golden. We live about two blocks from a park with a trail that links up to a huge trail system, so we see lots of spiffed-up cyclists, hikers with trekking poles, people with dogs, and runners. But this post is not about those people. This post [...]
