The Road Ahead

Day three of radiation therapy. Can't see any improvement yet, but she needed less pain medication yesterday so that is a good sign. Three down and seven to go. The beauty of autumn is quickly passing as the wind and the hail are taking their toll on the brittle golden leaves. The mountains will be … Continue reading The Road Ahead

Confusion

Beautiful morning following yesterdays storms. As I opened my eyes I could see golden light streaming through the autumn color of the aspen trees outside and smell the scent of pine in the gentle breeze coming through the open window. A whole flock of sparrows and finches made a pit stop in our tree this … Continue reading Confusion

Autumnal Equinox

Autumn, my favorite time of year in the mountains. Today is the day that the sun passes the equator on it's journey south for the winter, officially know as the autumnal equinox. In Colorado it's the time of year that the rainstorms decrease in frequency and the leaves begin to take on autumn gold. In … Continue reading Autumnal Equinox

Irony

A beautiful morning this Friday, and a perfect day for Jill Howard to head to Utah for her valiant attempt at a Boston Marathon qualifying time in the Top of Utah Marathon. As I had mentioned in an earlier blog I was going to step out of my comfort zone in my Examiner reporting role … Continue reading Irony

Perfect Weekend

It would be hard to imagine a more perfect weekend. The sun was shining and the sky was the amazing blue color that can only be matched high in the Rocky Mountains. The cool mountain air was perfectly still and the Cruise Above the Clouds car show rolled into town early in the morning on … Continue reading Perfect Weekend

End of Summer

The Labor Day weekend is a bittersweet time where I live, especially the Monday holiday. It is unofficial end of summer and the highway through town will be jammed with cars and pickups pulling camper trailers. Thousands will stream out of the mountains to head back to their homes in the cities and plains of … Continue reading End of Summer

Native American Day

Yesterday was a good day. Early in the morning I consulted the web to see if there was anything going on in my town worth attending. Initial results looked promising, a big balloon festival going on in downtown, Colorado Springs and a few other events going on around the area. Colorado Springs seemed like a … Continue reading Native American Day

Patience

Had to drive down to the city yesterday for supplies from the health food store. I hate going down there, it's too hot in the summer and the drivers are insane. It is hard to understand why driving straight down the road at the speed limit while trying to obey the traffic laws regarding lane … Continue reading Patience

I have been following the USA Pro Cycling Challenge with great interest this week and today it is coming to an end. Stage 7 of the race will go on today and a champion will be decided. I was fortunate this year that the race not only came to my town, but Woodland Park was … Continue reading USA Pro Cycling Challenge
