Day in Denver

I spent the day with two of my boys, and a couple other kids, at the Day in Denver field trip.  There was lots of walking and we spent most of our time having lunch and at the Capitol building.  (Above, the inside of the dome.)  Despite the fact that the Senate session was closed, we met a senator in the elevator.  Since we had such a small group, we wandered around on our own, and a nice person let us go out on the balcony!  I was thrilled to realize I had spent most of the day walking around with my shirt buttoned wrong.  Ugh.  The woman who took us out on the balcony took a picture of our group out there and it's REALLY obvious that my shirt's crooked! 

View from the balcony:


We were the only people at Union Station besides a couple of employees.  Maybe someday we'll take a train... 




At the end of the day we stopped at a fountain to cool our feet, and The Bruise learned a new phrase, "my dogs are barking."

    Sounds like a great day and the weather cooperated. I remember doing that Denver Day with my daughter. We had fun. Tomorrow she will be 34! Yikes.

    Looks like fun! Love your photo of the dome - and how cute are you! I always go on fieldtrips with my kiddos too - such a great way to spend time together. Happy weekend to you.

    That looks like a great day! The dome picture is awesome. What in the world does "my dogs are barking" mean? His feet are tired?

garden panos from 2023

 Last year, I made some effort (not thoroughly successful) to capture state-of-the-garden pictures every month, including panoramas stitched together on Photoshop, in order to get the whole view of what's happening.  So here's a little recap of the garden in 2023! early March April May June August It appears that I missed July, and either didn't take or didn't save this project in September, although we didn't have a killing frost very late into the season - we were still harvesting a few things in October.  As much as I loved the lettuce that was growing in the tunnel, and getting an early start on a few things, I'm not a fan of plastic anywhere, especially in my garden, so I am looking at options - cold boxes with old windows, etc.  I'm planning to start my 2024 garden this month - pea planting, planning, and seed starting in March!  What are you planting?

Night

Trixie (as in Speed Racer) and Stitch (as in per inch) Night My kitten walks on velvet feet And makes no sound at all; And in the doorway nightly sits To watch the darkness fall. I think he loves the lady, Night, And feels akin to her Whose footsteps are as still as his, Whose touch as soft as fur. Lois Weakley McKay ... a childhood favorite from The How and Why Library. Thank goodness my parents moved last year and sent this book my way. Otherwise, I would have just the first line running through my head forever!

Thankfulness, 2023 edition

I originally wrote this at the beginning of January, but was unable to upload a picture without using a third party software.  I'm thankful that seems to have been a temporary requirement.    Let's start the new year off with a tradition of thankfulness.  From the Thanksgiving chain in 2023: hymns my grandma sang thankful for loving family Zeph handwritten letters gardens good teammates Charlie Brown cartoons walks Brock Grandpa Caitlin falling leaves lasagna Noah wool Evie Eli Jaden Luke Mom good neighbors sky Kyla Avery God's grace Nana Italians Trung Hot Wheels wind through the leaves candy camp stool coffee carmelle apples Santa neighbors Zeph Jeremy steak & rice changing colors coffee & a book in the morning Karen's sense of humor my job time in prayer time to pray our nation grace old friends music health Christmas lights dinner with loved ones Sonya days off yarn God's love fall leaves pasta sandwiches our wonderful family crunchy leaves under foot be...
