A friend recently pointed out that I had fallen off the blog wagon lately… I had been doing so well for a while and then I fell into a boring weekly routine that didn’t seem interesting enough to write about. It seems like I’ve been spending a majority of available daylight (outside of work hours) battling the weeds that are trying to take over the area in our yard where I seeded native grasses last spring. The coneflowers are putting up the best fight, followed by the native grasses. The black eyed susans don’t seem to be coming up at all… I was hoping they would germinate this spring, but it isn't looking good for them so far. Hopefully the natives will gain some size this year so I don't have to fight so hard for them next season.
A few weeks ago, Karen presented at a conference in Denver, CO and I tagged along as a vacation. We were there Wednesday through Sunday and had a nice time. She has a couple friends who live there and they were kind enough to show us the sights and good restaurants. We ate so much food, I was stuffed every night (including some Chick-fil-a!). Denver is a cool town that I would seriously consider moving to if we ever had the opportunity. Lots of bike trails, good food and mountains a short drive away… what could be better than that?
A friend of mine has gotten me hooked on the instagram app for my iphone and I took these shots using that app while we were there. I took a lot more with my DSLR, but I haven’t felt motivated to go through them and pull out the best ones to post online. Perhaps I’ll do that this weekend as the weather people are predicting rain… not that we can really trust their judgment, though...
The famous Red Rocks Ampitheater
View of the mountains across a lake where we went "hiking" (quite possibly the only flat hiking trail in the Rockies!)
REI Denver store, how freakin' beautiful is that location?
An evening at Coors Field, the home of the Colorado Rockies.
