Oh Colorado

You'd think I'd be used to this place by now...not so. Waking up to howling winds and a high temperature that is almost 20 degrees cooler is not fun. Sure, we were still around 64F today, which is a beautiful Autumn day...but it was 81F yesterday. In reality, it's the wind that annoys me more than the temperature. I'm reminded of the super windy days of Winter...

Heard on the radio that this coming weekend will probably be the peak weekend to see Fall Color in the mountains. I may have to make an impromptu drive. :) Autumn passes too quickly here. All of the burning bushes in the neighborhood are bright red. Love them.

Welcome Autumn...sort of

This blog is really just for my own curiosity, to see if there's any rhyme or reason to things out here...

It's been pretty warm still. An occasional day in the 60s, but generally the 70s and even close to the 80s. Low 40s overnight...I keep waiting for the deep freeze. It snowed in Sept. last year...

We went out to 11 Mile State Park for a camping trip last weekend. It's really beautiful out there. I was a bit surprised that the aspen trees have not started changing colors. Many of the oaks, maples, etc in our community have already started to change. We may have to go for another drive in the coming weeks to appreciate the colors. I'm ok with that - love driving up in the mountains. They really are the best part of living in Colorado :)
