Green Tomatoes

 

Saved from the cold snap... some green zebras are actually almost ripe!

From the Garden & Backyard

Carrot

Nothing better than vegetables fresh from the garden - pulling carrots out of the ground, picking tomatoes off the vine...

Garden Bliss

 The chives survived the recent hail storms, and the bees are thankful!

With Michael's help, I built our very own compost bins made from reclaimed shipping pallets.

Michael's Birthday in Denver

We started the day in Denver at the delicious and beautiful Domo! We got the teriyaki and ramen - superb.

We also stopped by the Denver Art Museum, and viewed a great show of Joan Miró's work, along with some of my favorite contemporary pieces.

How I miss my garden and all the delicious bounty! Maybe this snowy day is a good one to plan what I shall plant in Spring.

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)

Nashville Trip: Day 3 - Turrell's Skyspace

The view from above, outside... you have to find the path that leads down and around to the entrance of "Blue Pesher".

The view started out grey and cloudy...

... but I stayed long enough that the clouds moved on and the sun created another circle within the skyspace: sky above, light on the wall, volcanic sand below.

I fell in love.
