Desert-Mountains-City

Within a week, I've visited several different ecosystems.


The AZ desert landscape enveloped me in warmth.


Breckenridge, CO, (and fox) welcomed me home to a yard still snow-covered.
(Hopefully not for much longer - it is, after all, the end of May!)


So, to compromise, I'm staying in Denver for awhile.


My container gardens are already flourishing in the city.
I sit on our tiny patio to read and to relax.


In the filtered sunshine, I daydream of lizards and foxes and melting snow.

I'm rejuvenated from my travels.
For me, that's 
One Good Thing.

  1. Denver weather looks great, guess the AZ climate was wonderfully warm. Here there will be snow at the farm down south tonight, cooler where we are, firewood in plentiful supply is wonderful. Fond greetings, Jean.

  11. The desert is nice, but you can't beat the mountains. Do you have any idea what the yellow flowered plant is?
    I agree that you have the best of two worlds right where you are.

    46ยบ when I woke up this morning. Our poor neighbors are having a huge cookout. The guests are huddled around the fires in coats!
    That is the first time I have seen your town patio. What a nice place for resting and reading!

  17. It looks as though you've had some lovely travels! Don't feel too bad about the snow - it snowed on Stratton Saturday night (eek) - fortunately it's not sticking - and in true New England tradition, it's going to be in the 80s this week. Have a nice evening!
