Strategies for maintaining sanity:
1. Backcountry bluebird powder days.
Snowy clearing with skin track, mountain ridge in the back country and clear blue sky at the top. You can see scattered evergreen trees on the right and left. There is a person standing next to the skin track by a small tree. Snow-covered mountain slopes with scattered evergreen trees and several ski and snowboard tracks in the powder snow. Clear blue sky at the top. Mountain ridge in the background with snow blowing off to the top left. Foreground is an expanse of smooth snow. You can see a few evergreen trees in the distance. Ski and snowboard tracks leading into a thick stand of evergreen trees in the foreground, in a shaded area. In the background you can see a mostly bare mountain peak with snow on the left side, still in bright sunshine, with clear blue sky behind it.

Yay! Winter! Before and after our lovely neighbor streamlined snow removal in the driveway with his snowblower. So pretty.
Picture of snow-covered yard and what looks like a snow-covered walkway with a tree in the center. You can see a street with a row of houses lining it behind the tree. Picture of a bank of snow behind a partially shoveled part. There is a banana stuck into the side of the snowbank for scale. The snow is just a little above the top of the banana. Picture of snow-covered yard and shoveled walkway with a tree in the center. There is a cleared driveway in front of the tree. You can see a street with a row of houses lining it behind the tree.

Saw this a few weeks ago and I cannot get it out of my head. Even more relevant after the reaction to Bishop Budde’s address last week and Herr Musk’s salute.
Image is titled “American evangelicals:” Picture is a play on the popular meme showing a man turning around looking appreciatively at a woman’s backside, while the woman whose hand he is holding - presumably his girlfriend looks upset at him while he’s ignoring her. In this case, the image of the woman he’s appreciating has been replaced by photoshopping in an image of Hitler, and the spurned girlfriend has been replaced by an image of Jesus.

Y’all, I love that the German language has the perfect word to describe me. In a nutshell…
Picture of a very grumpy-looking, very fluffy white long-haired cat against nondescript background. Somewhat unkempt. Caption reads, “MORGENMUFFEL (German) person who is grumpy in the mornings and doesn’t like to wake up early.”

As long as hundreds of people gather at Red Rocks every winter solstice to drum up the sun, I will maintain hope.

We’ve been there!!!! Literally won the lottery to go a year ago October. It was absolutely incredibly as wonderful as it looks. I didn’t want to leave. If I had to choose between winning the Wave lottery and winning $$$ (odds are about the same), I’d pick the Wave in a hot second.

Mountains feed my heart and the desert feeds my soul.
Aquamarine river running through the picture top to bottom with green grass on the left bank immediately in front of a gray boulder. Evergreen branches coming in on the right side, with evergreens in the middle-to-background. At the top, you can see mountains in the background below a deep blue sky with a band of fluffy white clouds hugging the mountain top.

We finally made it to Hawaii last month! One amazing week on the Big Island.

Oh hi, I’m new here. I thought for my first post I’d share a pic from our recent trip to the Big Island of Hawaii. Yes, I wish we were still there.
Picture looking out to the ocean with waves rolling in. There’s a blue sky with white clouds at the top, black pebbly beach in the foreground with a blue snorkeling fin, and a few tree branches in the top right corner.
