Finding Our Place.

Oh, my sweet state of Colorado...

Sometimes I love you far too much.

Away at Home.

As an Autumn lover through and through, I find the heat of summer can grow uncomfortably oppressive. Any day warmer than eighty degrees seems to fry the life right out of me, and I catch myself laying around, on the floor, grass, hammock, more often, and mustering the energy to do household chores much less. Of course, as children's internal thermometers are always a bit different than adults, (can you remember the last time you wanted to swim in a freezing cold creek? Probably not since you turned thirteen...) Gabriel has been running in circles just as fast as ever. As the mercury rises, we've been finding solace and cool air in our neighboring mountains. For the next several days, Gabriel and I are taking a break from the noisy energy of summer and will be relaxing in the dirt.
