Finally!

Finally I had my camera with me, when I came across deers on a front lawn again!!! I was so excited! There were all in all 6 deers. 3 babies, 3 adults. right next to a kind of busy street. I was able to get very close to take the picture, they didn't even care :o) I LOVE living in Colorado Springs :o) Lucky me gets to see deers about 3 times a month, even foxes now and then.

Tea time

With the now slowly getting cooler weather, it certainly is time to dedust those old mugs and pour ourselves a cup of good, hot tea....

October 1st

It's october finally!! The time of falling leaves, cooler days, more rain...comfort foods and so much more. Halloween is just around the corner, and then next month we will be digging into turkey, stuffing, green beans and pies and watch the first snow falling. 4 weeks later it's time to open presents and soon to celebrate the new year and then my birthday. Wow, exciting months are laying ahead, right?

Illluminated

This is a playground I've found in the neighborhood, I had mentioned in my last post. My son (sitting on the swing) loved it. I loved the way the sun broke through the tree and the way the clouds looked.

My dream neighborhood

This area, which is the neigborhood up Cheyenne Mountain, is my ultimate dream to live! One is so close to nature. I've seen many times deers and their youngs standing in front yards of these houses. Unfortnuately I never have my camera with me when that happens :o( It's gorgeous up there. When it's a rainy, cloudy day...one will be stuck in the low hanging clouds, the views from up there over the city and the plaids is....aaaah, don't even get me started! :o)
