Trick or Treat

We had a great Halloween. This is the first year we have lived in a neighborhood with lots of trick or treaters. We actually ran out of candy. Clementine liked handing out candy as much as she liked going door to door.

First Frost

We had our first freeze last week. Clementine and I dug up the potatoes and carrots. We collected all the red tomatoes and hung up our plants with green tomatoes in the garage. I am hoping it is warm enough in there for them to ripen. We also brought in the last pumpkin. The biggest and roundest pumpkin. We carved Clementine's name in it when it was just a tiny pumpkin. We are sad to see the end of our garden. Here is a photo of it at its peak this summer.

Spiders

Thanks to Aunt Claire we now have the spookiest house on the block.

Fall

My favorite time of year in Colorado. Leaves changing color and pumpkins from the garden. We went this weekend to Color Sunday on Grand Mesa. A little festival to celebrate the aspen leaves. The Grand Mesa is the largest flat top mountain in North America and has lots of beautiful glacier lakes. It is one of our favorite places for hiking.

Colorado Girl

You know you are a true Coloradan, when you never leave home without your snow hat and sunglasses.

Winter Olympics

You know you live in a terrible place when it is 30 degrees warmer at the Winter Olympics.

Valentine's Day

Did you know that candy hearts now say things like "text me"? I got something much better for Valentine's day, a clean house and a pot roast.
