still waiting for the sun

05.12.10

We’ve had a few nice days this spring, but recently, it’s been more colder than warm and more snow than sun. Hold on one second.

Yep, I just checked my calendar and confirmed that it is indeed the middle of May.

I know, some people’s weather involves flooding, tornados, and sinkholes that are swallowing houses whole. It could be so much worse than a little frostiness in the morning. It’s really hard to complain about wet roads and white rooftops. But when you’ve had a taste of this as recently as last weekend…

…it does make it hard to accept cold as the forecast. We even had to cover up a few of the more delicate flowers we just planted. And here we thought we missed the last frost by at least a month.

We do have a little bit of sun left over from Mother’s Day in the form of flowers on one of our end tables. As much grief as I give Rhiannon about her love of plants that are cut and dying before you even bring them home, I will admit they brighten the place up on these dreary days. I guess that will have to do for now.

get outside while you can

04.28.10

Yes, the weather here is turning colder again. Um, I guess no one has informed nature that it’s the end of April and snow is no longer supposed to be in the equation. I know, we chose to live near mountains above 6000 feet and far away from any bodies of water that might keep our temp stable and warmer, but still.

It doesn’t mean I have to like it. It’s my website, and I’ll complain if I want to.

In honor of the warm weather we’ve had, Brooklynn says get outside and take a walk when you can.

warming it up

04.01.10

On Tuesday this week, Denver had a high temperature of over 70 degrees for the first time since November. Now, for some of our family who lives a little farther north, this may not seem like a big deal, but it has meant a long cold winter with little snow to show for it for us.

Not only did we hit 70, we were at 82, a new record high. So, once again, we got out side to enjoy the spring weather.

And to those of you who might tell me to stop complaining about our cold weather, I say what’s stopping you from moving farther south?

get out and live a little

03.24.10

We’ve been dealing with a decent amount of snow here the past 24 hours, and, while it is warming up and quickly melting, I really just wanted to remind Mother Nature that is has been officially spring now for over a week and we don’t need the 10 to 20 inch snow storms anymore.

In fact, remember last week when it was 70 degrees and we took Brooklynn on a walk to a park about a mile from our house?

Outside, in short sleeves? And put her in a swing for the very first time?

Yeah, we’ll take more of that. Thanks.

she has an opinion

12.08.09

We should be sitting down right about now to hear a college jazz concert. Should being the operative word. Instead, we’re at home due to a canceled concert andsome uncooperative weather. Brooklynn is not impressed, not one bit. In fact, she’d like to share her opinion of how things went down today.
