Just a Bit of Snow

We finally received some snow yesterday!

It's been such a dry and warm winter...

It's hard to complain about 50+ degree temps,

but we do live in Colorado 

and there's just something wrong about that.

I'm going to hope for a little more :-)

Thin Mints!

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!!

Girl Scout Cookie Time :-)

We're going to need another round...

Nearly Sunrise...

Thursday is getting ready to dawn 

on another beautiful day here in the Fort.

We have been enjoying temps in the 50's this week,

but we could definitely use some snow/precipitation - 

it's supposed to be winter!

Warming Up!

After a stretch of frost-bite weather,

it warmed up in to the 50's today!!

The sun feels amazing!

I opened up the front door so that

Daisy could enjoy it while keeping guard :-)

Vegas Days...

Just by watching what the tourists were wearing, 

I could tell that Las Vegas' reputation 

for being hot prevails even in January...  

As with the fickle temps in Colorado, that is not the case.  

On Wednesday, it was warm enough to sit on the patio at SB.  

This little one wanted to have  breakfast with me :-)

 

What a beautiful day, huh?
Not by Las Vegas standards...
These golfers are braving the cold and wind
to whack that little ball around.

On the upside, from my very protected perch
that was being blasted with the tiny bit on sun
we would see on Thursday,
I was comfortably taking photos while
soaking up the minimal heat in a black sweater :-)

Happy Birthday to Me

I just love getting pedicures, so it's a perfect treat for my birthday!  This awesome shade of red is called "The Spy Who Loved Me." Nothing like a little adventure to add spice to my day - lol!

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Or...  Repurpose...  College Style

My son's apartment...

From beverage containers 

(I'm sure they are all soda - not)

to window blinds...  

Happy 2013!

I didn't make it to midnight to greet the New Year,
so I am up at Dawn to greet the First Day.
Sunrise is my favorite time of day :-)
