Beautiful Weather

Today is Ash Wednesday already and February is almost gone.  We have been having really nice weather for the last few days, but still very dry.  They were saying on the radio a couple of days ago that in Denver there have been 15 days of above 60 degree weather already this year.   That means in the 50's at our altitude.  Behind on moisture which is always a concern, but in a normal year, we still have the snowiest months ahead.  Just hope we don't get it all in one humongous snowfall like a few years ago.  But I guess we'll take it as we get it. 

Not too much going on here.  I have been trying to get some painting done inside the house.  We had most of it done about a year and a half ago and I was going to do the extra bedrooms and closets (that don't have high ceilings) that we did not have the painter do.  Did the guest bedroom and a bathroom last summer and then didn't do any more. ...

Catching Up---Again

Wow, it's been a while since I've updated, so now I have to try and remember what we've done.  We were invited to a Super Bowl party but the couple got sick and canceled,  so we just watched at home.  That was fine, too.  Last Saturday there was a ministry event at church.  There were workshops on various topics.  It was in the morning and then I was scheduled to set up for Sunday communion, so did that early afternoon.  Normally we set up on Saturday mornings.  This past Wednesday we went to the Home & Garden Show in downtown Denver at the convention center.  That's about the only thing we go down there for.  They always have fancy gardens complete with waterfalls set up and all kinds of blooming trees, flowers, etc.  Also have booths for vendors to display their wares, like windows, etc.  And tons of hot tubs.  I enjoy just seeing all the flowers, shrubs, etc., even though much of it would not grow well where we live. ...
