It’s been that kind of amazing early Spring day with clear skies, lot of sun, and a high in the mid 60’s. Everyone’s been out walking, hiking, biking, or just sitting in the cheerful sunshine enjoying the great weather. It won’t last – a heavy snow is expected Wednesday -- so make hay while the sun shines!
This photo shows how the sun shone through the hexagonal window near our bed this morning and projected up onto the west facing balcony glass doors. I could tell it was going to be a beautiful day.
While Ben did a five mile hike with our friend Lotus up in Chautauqua, I did a three mile walk with Dawn and Turbo in nearby Niwot. As we sat out on the patio of the coffee shop the warmth and the sun made me feel like we were back in Maui. Later I took That Handsome Dog Gus, who has is visiting the past few days, for a short walk and I was excited to see that the crocus have begun to open.
Poor babies are going to get snow covered later in the week. Predictions are currently for 4-8" of "concrete snow," which is never much fun though it is pretty.
My little friend from Venezuela spent the afternoon with me last week while his mother was busy cleaning, He quickly found the old chair that Ben used when he was a toddler and enjoyed figuring out how to make it rock.
After a while he got tired of that and began to play with some toys we keep around just for occasions like this. He was very entertaining and I quite enjoyed watching him.
After a couple of hours he conked out. It's hard work exploring the world.!
As did the dogs, who were worn out from all the excitement of having a toddler in the house.
Now it's late afternoon but the sun is still strong since we moved the clocks forward an hour. Paul is coming over soon for a visit, which will be a nice conclusion to this pretty day.
