Aw...Mondays

Our girl Rebekah baked these delicious Apple Cider Donuts. She picked up her apple cider at the Colorado Cherry Company in Estes Park.

 

Hey, Hey, Hey....it's Yogi Bear. You can visit Jellystone Park too while in the Estes Park area if you have little ones with you.

We have had the most wonderful weekend and Monday too. I wish I could post all of the photos we took.

 “Patience is power.

Patience is not an absence of action;
rather it is "timing"
it waits on the right time to act,
for the right principles
and in the right way.”

THANKFUL THURSDAY and BIRTHDAY WISHES

 Thankful Thursday reminds me to be thankful for each little simplicity in my life.

We have had some sizzling temps for the past several weeks. We keep hearing that tomorrow and through the weekend the temp will drop about 25 to 30 degrees. We are going to attend the Scottish Festival in Estes Park this weekend so we hope we get a bit of reprieve from the rain we need while in the mountains.  But am thankful for cooler weather even for a few days.

Anytime I can get a trip to the mountains of Colorado I am thankful and happy. 

I am thankful Avery has Monday off so a long weekend is always a big thankful for me.

I am also very thankful to wish a very  Happy Birthday  to Sandee. She is one kind heart. Always thankful for her linking me in if I simply forget to do it. Always thankful that she rallies us for Aw... Mondays, Happy Tuesday, Wordless Wednesday and Feline Friday. I even have a special birthday Maxine for Sandee here. 

Sandee, I hope you are having a very wonderful birthday!!  Enjoy it to the fullest. Hope you are going to hop on the boat and sail away.....

I love this thankful so I duplicated it on both of my blogs today. S M I L E !

The "BER" months have begun,: September, October, November and December.

Let's talk about September, ok?

1. When you were in school or university, did you look forward to returning? Why or why not?  I attended college part time and lived at home as I attended the local state college which today is a university.  I loved being with my loved ones around the holidays, so I never went very far away from them. 

2. September has Labor Day, which for many is the signal of Summer's end and Falls grand entrance. Do you celebrate Labor Day or is it just another day off for you? Although I am retired, my husband still works 40 hour work weeks, so I am grateful for all those who still make it to their workplace, whether in a factory, an officer, their home or elsewhere.  We usually have a barbeque but  with 90 plus temps, we are not yet ready for Fall. We did see some trees todays that are showing their colors are changing from green to gold and red. In Colorado, we are usually surprised by the crazy weather patterns.

3. September's birthstone is  the Sapphire,  which is second only to the Diamond in hardness. (Ruby is   a red Sapphire by the way) It comes in many colors.  Do you know your birthstone and do you like it?  I am a December baby so my birthstone is Blue Topaz or Turquoise. I do love it because at age 16 my father bought me a beautiful 14k gold birthstone ring in a Marquis cut.

4. September's flower is  the Astor.  Do you know what  is yours ? My flower is Poinsettia, Holly, Narcissus or Orchid. They are all beautiful but as a child I did not like holiday birthday cakes and so my mother always made sure I had the prettiest flowers gracing my birthday cake.

Happy Tuesday

Aren't these "Purrito Kittens" just the cutest ever? 

HAPPY TUESDAY EVERYONE!

Aw.... Monday/ Love is...

 Aw...Mondays

Rebekah and Zach went into Denver to help his mom pack as she is moving. They walked around the sidewalk chalk art and there was some really talented artists creating all these different  scenario's. It was really exciting to see and  be able to share their photos here with you.

This depiction of Herman Munster was so cool and the cat with the lava lamp looked like it was standing up on the sidewalk.

Cap'n Crunch and Donald Duck, a really great piece of art. These artists are unbelievably talented,

I hope you will find these as fun as I did.

It was extremely hot today and these dedicated artists were hard at work, creating their masterpieces.  The top left Sugar Skull is something I was unsure about when I first researched it but as part of the Mexican culture celebrating the Day of the Dead, I came to like this symbol and I even have a pair of leggings with sugar skulls on them. They are perfect to wear anytime but especially in the month of October to celebrate Halloween. 

 

Love is...always says it best.
