We got some snow last night here in the Colorado Rockies. The fresh, light fluffy kind that is called powder. I'm sure a lot of employees are calling in “sick” today, so they can enjoy a powder day. Boy if it wasn't tax season, I might be joining them! So I looked up on my … Continue reading Day Pass
I previously mentioned my word for 2022 is release. A friend of mine, said she is celebrating her Jubilee (50th) birthday this year. I already sent her her presents, even though her birthday is not until April, because the other morning on the news I heard there was a volcano that erupted, causing tsunamis, the … Continue reading Jubilee

As with many English idioms containing the word black, this one refers to something mysterious or even potentially shameful. People may refer to a journal or part of a journal as their black book or little black book. This means that it … Continue reading My little black book

A friend who was going through a difficult divorce, needed some extra encouragement, and so I gave them to her, as green is her favorite color too. When looking for a … Continue reading Lapis Lazuli Blue
That's right folks, it is time for another adventure from the ranch! When we got our property, it was overrun with thistles.

It's huge! 17 inches across the top and 12 inches deep. That's the size of my husband's favorite cooking pot. The wooden spoon he uses to stir is 18 inches long. He is a fantastic cook. The only downside, is he does not seem to know how to cook for just two people. So whenever … Continue reading Stir it up
