Clover


We have been most busy and it seems the blog gets last priority when I am tired.
One of the things most impressive about our location is the flowers. There are so
many wildflowers and they are so abundant and large. The ones purchased and in pots
struggle to grow but the local ones do not. Pictured above is clover to give you an example and it is
beautiful enough to be a cut flower in my kitchen.
We have heard reports of mountain lions and bears but so far have not seen any.
We also hear the weather reports for "Down the hill" and how hot and humid it is.
Mostly just hot when we speak of Denver but we are living in cool comfort.
We have had 2 hot days whereby we would have normally turned on the
AC for a couple of hours in the afternoon but for the most part it has been quite pleasant.
The dryness of the air makes such a difference. I would never have believed that 50 degrees
would be shirtsleeve weather but when the air is so dry 50 degrees is not bad. By 9:00 AM it is warm and pleasant.
It gets a little warm at 80 by midday and starts to cool down nicely around 5:00 PM. There are very few bugs.
At night we have the windows and vents closed and about 3:00 AM when one of us goes for a potty break we turn
on the heater as it gets down to about 40 degrees most nights. I was shocked one morning
when I noted that it only was down to 50!
This weekend we are headed for KC and Amanda and Brad's wedding reception. It will be a nice midsummer break for us.
