Melt Down

A very warm Monday started the melt down...

This evergreen, which sits in a corner by the porch,

always produces some interesting icicles.

Snow-Laden Branches

A weekend storm gifted us with about 6 inches of snow.

Today, the branches of my Snow Crab (how apropos)

are still covered with the white remnants,
while the streets and sidewalks are starting to melt.

Bath Day

Not my favorite...

But I look good!!

(even if Mom can't take a focused pic)

Now I just need to find something to roll in :-P

Photographer's Assistant...

Sunday afternoon found me conscripted into service 

as my daughter's photo assistant (pack mule). 

While making sure not to be remiss in my duties,

I found time to snap a couple of photos myself :-)

Enjoy this little bit of early spring,

The Treadmill...

The price I'm willing to pay for

chocolate, cookies and lattes...

Keep that body moving - you've only got one!

Everything in moderation :-)

Chocolate Cafe

My friend and I both have January birthdays

so we try to have a combined celebration every year.

January passed by in a whirl of activity,

so here we are a few days into February -

better late than never :-)

Chocolate Cafe

Old Town Fort Collins 

What you see here:

Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie

Toffee Chocolate Brownie

Chocolate Bar Martini

Raspberry Mocha Martini

All very delicious!

However, this morning, I am still

feeling a bit over-chocolated/sugared.

Off to the gym I go...

My Suggestion:

Share!!

They also serve meals, 

so count that martini as dessert...

Groundhogs Day

Groundhog Day has dawned with a

clear, blue sky here in the Fort!

Looks like six more weeks of winter...

That's okay - we need the moisture :-)

is that it's right too often for us to ignore it

and wrong too often for us to rely on it."
