Golf????

Wednesday evening means golf league...even on nights like tonight! I actually wouldn't have played tonight if we wouldn't have had a scramble tournament. They had been calling for rain all day and it was raining off and on. At the beginning of our tournament we were lucky in the fact that the wind died down. Just two minutes after I got this photo, it started raining - with small hail mixed in. Other than some wet pants...we survived!

Rubber Duckies!

There were rubber duckies EVERYWHERE today. We held my sister's baby shower today and the theme was...rubber duckies! Two years ago I made some fun cupcakes for her bridal shower, so I only thought it was fitting that I make something for her baby shower. The weather was PERFECT so we were able to hold the shower outside and it was a GREAT afternoon!!

SNOW!

Well, it is 50 degrees colder than yesterday...it was 81 degrees and we were out playing golf - actually got a sunburn! Today it's all about keeping from getting blown away and not getting frostbite! Gotta love spring in Colorado!

Spring Golf...Again

We were lucky enough to make it out the Ridge again for some golf. The wind started off very calm, but ended up making an appearance. At least it was sunny and warm...80 degrees!! With all of these wind days I won't know how to play in nice weather.

Dusting Off

It's April 1st and the outdoor furniture has made its appearance!! They are calling for snow on Sunday or Monday, so I'm sure that it will get a little wet. Since the weather was so nice today, I was able to enjoy a little time sitting on it, watching and listening to the birds. (Still looking for those darn blue birds!!) I even broke it in with a Fijitini!! So looking forward to summer!!

Spring Golf

Installing tile and playing golf were on my "to do" list for spring break. The damn wind has been getting in our way for golfing. We decided to play at The Ridge today...the weather forecast was calling for winds to pick up around noon - not so much! We still managed to have fun...on most holes. :o)

Spring Has Sprung

I was in the backyard checking things out...I'm VERY anxious for spring! Came across these tulips making their way through the soil and mulch.

A Day of Play

First "official" day of spring break and I got to play...bubbles, seashells, popcorn, car wash, and hermit crabs!

Another Pair

This morning there was a pair of bluebirds hanging out on the desk this morning...they didn't seem to stick around long. Today was the first day I saw a couple of bluebirds in the neighborhood.

Beautiful Morning!

This picture didn't truly capture the morning colors. As the sun came up, there was a warm glow on the mountains. Getting very excited for spring and summer!

Wrong Type of Bird

I was excited by the bluebirds I saw when leaving school and since the weather was beautiful, I decided to sit out in the backyard and keep my eye out for some birds around the house. There were a few that made a quick dash past me, but this was the only "bluebird" I was going to be photographing today.

Another Female

Not sure if this is the same female bluebird, but she was out cleaning herself this morning.

They Have Arrived!

This evening while watering my plants in the basement I had a VERY pleasant surprise...a female bluebird sitting on the nesting box fixing her feathers. I felt this was a little early, but looking back at this blog I discovered that they appeared exactly one year to the day as last year. (I'm just hopeful that this year is better.)

New Visitors

Late this afternoon we had several coyotes across the fairway from us. We saw one on his own and then a few minutes later there were three more headed in the same direction.

Fundraising for Haiti

I am so VERY proud of the students at my school, Clear Sky Elementary. The sixth grade students organized a fundraiser for Haiti and in just over a week the school raised $2800!!! Today a representative from the local Red Cross chapter came to the school for a special presentation. He shared a little about the history of the Red Cross and what they do for our community.

Birthday Weekend

We had a WONDERFUL weekend at my parents' house. We all went home to have a birthday dinner for my dad. And of course...there had to be wagon rides and tractor driving.

And the fog came rolling in...

I thought I was living in San Francisco this morning with all the fog. When I first woke up it was still dark outside and the fog was moving in from the north. When I took this photo it had started to clear.

Happy Birthday!

Just had to send some balloons to my dad on his 60th birthday...LOVE YOU and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

A Sign That's in Monday?

I was going the school taking some photos for a project and came across these Base-10 blocks scattered on the floor. They just looked like "Monday blocks."
