Snow + aspens
A special day today all of us up on the gondola to see the aspens and a nice amount of snow...gorgeous together...last day the gondola is running until ski season starts so really glad we were able to get up...

Jeeping Buffalo Pass, late summer
- It's technically still summer, and warm enough for it, but it sure looks like fall around here...
- I had no idea Buff Pass was dirt. And rutted, rocky dirt at that. I suppose you could bring a regular car up here, but I wouldn't want to...
- I can't even tell you how much our rocky picnic spot reminded me of being a kid in Colorado...love that feeling of giving my kids the same outdoorsy childhood that I had...
- Aspen trees if you hug them are cold. The dead ones are not...
- I love how when the leaves fall on pine trees they look like Christmas ornaments...
- The leaves are nowhere near their peak...another weekend? Two? I'm not sure we'll drive here again this fall but we'll be checking out the leaves elsewhere for sure...what a beautiful drive Buff Pass is, though...highly recommended...
Grace in small things, August 3, 2016
- Water and some kitchen utensils on the deck...nothing's more fun...
- I am loving the friends I'm making here in Steamboat...
- My husband volunteering to go to the grocery store on his way home from work whenever I need it...this is nothing new, but so grateful for the help, always...
- A walk after the kids went down this evening, me and Newton the boxer...last month when I was doing walks at 8:30 or so it was light the whole way...today I was making it home in the dark...I love how things like the lengths of the days change so gradually and yet also so dramatically...
- Beautiful "art letters" from my mom—one for each of the kids and one for me as well. What a delight these pieces of snail mail are...thank you Mom!!
XOXO
