I enjoyed an awesome ride a few days ago and was thinking about more of the same, this morning. While watching the sunrise through the window, I noticed that it looked exceptionally calm. So I moseyed out the backdoor to get a little closer to the action. It was indeed a beautiful morning with only […]
We made it up to Oregon to pick up our little treasure on day 3, right on schedule. He’s even more handsome then we expected. Max was our first French Brittany and he showed us how incredible these dogs are, which is why we made a multi-day road trip to bring Xam into our circle.
No dirt roads lately – on the bike anyway. We did go on a road trip, (in the car). An epic road trip according to our oldest grandson, J.C. who went with us. We picked him up at the airport in Denver and headed west on Interstate 70 across colorful Colorado. Through the Eisenhower Tunnel
One of the things I truly love about this time of year is walking out the back door of the cottage into the cool morning sunshine and harvesting breakfast from the garden. We backed off on the garden this year. It’s a lot of work and we didn’t want to get as tied down as

We’ve always celebrated Fridays, as far back as I can remember. It was the starting line for the race into weekend fun. The spot on the weekly calendar, where we shifted gears from work -a- day, to time to play; or something like that. I think we probably appreciate Friday’s more now in our Golden

Vickie and I are delving into the possibilities to do exactly that, as we transition into ” The Golden
I first fell in love with Colorado’s, Rocky Mountains when I was just a little tyke. My Dad was born in Illinois like I was but his Mother was a descendant of a farming dynasty in the San Luis Valley, located in South-Central Colorado. We made the trip many times in my youth from the
“My garden is my most beautiful masterpiece” ― Claude Monet The 3MPH Garden got a late start this year. It’s actually only just getting started, as far as planting anything’s concerned. Normally, at this time we’re already harvesting some early lettuce, spinach and Spring onions for a nice salad. Not this year, the wind kept blowing

Since moving to the cottage in Emerald City a half dozen years ago, I’ve made a tradition of celebrating my Birthday by riding my age on the glorious gravel of the Eastern Colorado High Plains. This year I turned 63, so I had to find a fun ride that was at least 63 miles long.
I remember an old saying from my youth; “March comes in like a Lion and goes out like a Lamb.” It came in like a Lion this year but as March comes to an end, the Lamb has been kinda hesitant to show up. Vickie and I tried to escape the jaws of the Lion
There’s something tremendously alluring about old trucks. They take me back to a simpler time. The curvaceous, artistic sweeping fenders and aerodynamic accoutrements make modern trucks look boxy and unimaginative. Here’s a photo set of some oldies but goodies in their natural setting; littered across the high plains. You might as well enjoy some “Honky-Tonk,
They say a picture’s worth a 1000 words and since I couldn’t find any words this week; thought I’d share a few pictures. There’s something about old derelict buildings that draw my eye. I’m not sure if it’s the weathered textures or geometric shapes, but I spend a fair bit of time hunting and shooting
