Peach Time!

We always anticipate every summer the ripening of Colorado peaches.....they are sweet and so run down your chin juicy!  Mr. Outdoors favorite treat next to dark chocolate...LOL.   They are ripe and ready and I am dreaming of a peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream....yum!

August Days.....

Have you noticed August is flying by?  Mr. Outdoors and I have been enjoying the extended season of wild flowers here in Colorado.  The camping, fishing and four wheeling adventures have been wonderful!  Alas, time to get back to our normal routine but it was glorious while it lasted!  The amount of laundry we accumulate while camping never ceases to amaze me, in Colorado you'd better have clothes for two seasons, warm days and cold nights.   Happy Monday!

Summer's Bounty....

Summertime and the livin is easy...remember that song from Porgy and Bess?   Summertime is garden time around the farm, bread and tomato sandwiches and BLT's.  Granddaughter calls hers a BELT, she adds an egg to her BLT.

Baby Blankets.....

I always keep extra baby blankets on hand that I have knitted or crocheted, so fun to remove them from their tissue paper and choose which one goes to the newest baby in our circle of Family and Friends........This one goes to Kobe, sweet baby boy.

Camping in the High Country....

Mr. Outdoors and I have been camping at our favorite spot in Colorado.  Gathering firewood, 4 wheeling, trout fishing, campfire cooking and lots of fresh mountain air. Mr. Outdoors saw his first black bear, how exciting!

 I'll let the pictures do the talking... enjoy!

God Bless America!

God Bless America, land that I love......Happy Fourth of July!

Turn out the lights......

The party's over......Mr. Outdoors and I ended our 50th celebration last night at Texas Roadhouse.  After the party last weekend it was nice to have a quiet evening to ourselves.  A great supper and onto our next 50 years!   July 2, 1965 to July 2, 2015 has been a good run for us,  so many happy memories we have shared....Blessed we are.  Happy 4th of July!  Be safe!
