Always Hard to Say Goodbye
But, this time I made sure to bring some sights home to Colorado with me…
There is a pic of me at about age 3 sitting in this truck with grandma somewhere around the house. Now it sits on the farm yard with flat tires and ages a little more each year. It is still interesting and pretty in its own way though. The blue bike in the photo on the right was my first ten speed. Mom and dad put together a very elaborate treasure hunt around the farm for myself and one friend for my tenth birthday. There were little presents for both of as at each stop - candy bars, mystery books (yes, even at age ten I loved my mysteries) and the final stop was this bike, hidden away up in the hay loft!
I remember hopping a fence to sit in this old car that sits in the woods on the west side of the farm with one of my older cousins when I was little. I really wanted to get closer and get some detail shots, but I’m pretty certain I would have had to wade through a large patch of burning weed to do so :-( At least I’m pretty sure that was burning weed.
Of course there was no resisting these cuties! I hadn’t even though about the fact that I’d be home for spring kittens! My allergies weren’t happy, but I was :-)
Of course I needed some pics of the trees and grases of MN to get me through the usually dry Colorado summer!
I have work to catch up on now that I’m back in Colorado. If you’ve contacted me in the last two weeks you can expect it to take me until later this week to get back to everyone.
