Rainbow

With all the rain we've been getting in Colorado, we've been seeing a lot of beautiful rainbows!

Summer Fort Collins Trip

 We enjoyed a fun exhibit at the Fort Collins Museum of Art!

 This installation made me think of Malvina's song Little Boxes.

 After stuffed tummies (thanks to Lucile's), too much caffeine (thanks to Bean Cycle), and too much sugar (thanks to Little Bird), we headed to Red Mountain Open Space. Beautiful area where you are able to really get away from the masses of students and tourists flocking to FC!

Welsh Rabbit Bistro in Fort Collins

Last year, we stopped by the Welsh Rabbit Cheese Bistro for a late lunch on a quiet weekday in Fort Collins. The staff was very polite, the decor pleasing, and overall the food and wine was delicious. They have a large selection of unique and tasty cheeses (also available in their little cheese shop). We ordered bread, salami and buffalo pastrami, and chose a smattering of cheeses: soft chèvre, camembert, mimolette, and a semi-hard cheese that we can't remember the name of. These all paired perfectly with a glass of red wine -- the name of which we wish we'd written down also! All we can remember is it was made with Slovenian grapes. We also tried a glass of the house red, which was tolerable until we tried it with the Camembert. A huge mistake -- it left the most awful taste in your mouth! Other than this moment, we were very pleased with our Welsh Rabbit experience. (I hope they have switched to cloth napkins by now.)

Feeling refreshed after a short visit to Fort Collins with Michael, visiting friends, lounging in the sun in a hammock, and eating so very much good food.

Dumpster Glass Bowl

These beautiful "dumpster glass" bowls, by Elizabeth Rulli, are perfect for jewelry or your collection of little rocks and crystals! You can find them for sale in the gift shop at the Fort Collins Museum of Art. They make great affordable holiday gifts!

Sunrise in Bellvue, CO

No funky camera filters needed - just an amazing sunrise. 

I hope Larry knows how lucky he is to wake up to this view every morning!

Fort Collins Fall Leaves and Denver Chihuly

The Autumn colors are glorious in Fort Collins!

Thanks La Luz for fixing the mix-up with a free round of margaritas! The jalapeno marg was delicious, and the salsas so fun! 

The Front Range at Sunset.

Chihuly at the Denver Botanic Gardens

(my favorite piece, not just because I'm difficult and it seemed to be the most hated, but because he's finally trying something contemporary and I actually found it interesting, thought provoking, not easy eye-candy)
