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

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

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

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,

I’m not sure if it’s the weathered textures or geometric shapes, but I spend a fair bit of time hunting and shooting
An Old Road Dog escapes his chores and hits the gravel for a bit of Winter Solstice wheeling. Thanks to global warming, on the second shortest day of the year, I escape the doldrums of my wintertime tasks to go pedaling about on the High Plains. The weather forecast for today is mid-sixties, with wind

Hundreds of windmills, spread across the hill. Blades turning in unison with the wind. Our dependence on oil, they hope to end. But at what cost to our energy bill. Like alien beasts, littering the plain. Ugly, offensive, destroying the view. Upsetting nature and killing birds too. The new green deal, is completely insane. Just
