Barn Charm #87 - A Different Kind of Barn and Remembering our Service Men and Women

Another drive by photo op between Boulder and Lyons, Colorado. I've passed this unusual barn a bazillion 40 times and managed to get a semi-descent shot of it last week. (This is not the kind of highway where you pull off to get a photo. Uh. . .no.) It kind of looks like an old barn that the owner re-sided. Or something. 

Well, I like funky things.

And in remembrance and honor 

of those who have sacrificed so much for our country

the Reinkes say "thank you" with heartfelt gratitude.

Blessings,

Tuesday Barn Charm #86

This barn sits on a quaint ranch at the mouth of Big Thompson Canyon. The photo is blurry because I took it from a speeding vehicle. No names will be mentioned.

Like Heaven on Earth

Dennis took me to the Meadow Mountain Cafe for breakfast this morning. The drive was very foggy until we started up the mountain. We soon entered a world of sunshine. When we looked behind us we discovered this breathtaking view. Underneath that white fluffy blanket of fog is the lovely 
Estes Valley where we live. 

Hope all of you enjoyed Mother's Day as much as I did.

Rural Thursday - What a Difference a Day Makes

So yesterday it's 80 degrees outside and a deer is on our front porch munching on the lilac bush. Which is okay, because there will be no lilac flowers this year. All the buds died in the frost we had a couple of weeks ago. Somebody ought to get some enjoyment out of that bush and it might as well be "Bud". (Notice the ring on the deer's topnotch that looks like a washer? That's how he got his name. . .that little ring is where his antler will "bud".)

"Bud" caught in the act.

Anyway, so that was yesterday. And this is the mountains in May. And we need moisture. And we got it. And my husband is now doing "the happy dance" because it's snowing. 

I am not amused.

(Blessings,)

Spring on the Homestead

The day I took this photo (last week) 

the daytime temperature was in the high 70's. 

The next morning it snowed. 

Such is the month of May in the Rockies.

Hope your day is full of sunshine.

Blessings,
