Wednesday

Ah.....absolutely perfect weather.   Sunny, warm, low humidity.   The trees are a beautiful shade of tender green against the impossibly blue sky.     I'm so glad we're finally here.





view from Beluga

Snow capped mountains peak over the Cherry Creek Reservoir.


I think we've nailed down our accommodations for the next few months.  That was the big event of the day.     Other than that, we didn't do anything interesting.....grocery shopping, laundry (hung towels out in the fresh air, so nice), and Dave grilled steak and asparagus for dinner.

Happy hour visitors today were two raucous magpies in the tree next to Beluga.   They made mincemeat of a clueless squirrel that ventured too close to their nest.   These guys are tough!


Tomorrow we move to Dakota Ridge RV Resort in Golden.

  2. Dakota Ridge looks very nice!! Magpies are one of my favorites - so beautiful, and so ornery :-) Glad you're getting settled in for your long visit. It's been so long since I've seen snow on the mountains in any abundance, I would love to have that vista to look at every day.

  3. We almost bought a home in Westminster, I had my only child at St. Anthony's North hospital in Westminster, it was nice in 1976 and 1977 we have been back a lot, we adore Colorado just not the city of Denver anymore..We had a lovely home in Aurora, they built that century theater where that nut went crazy right up the road from our lovely home, it was not crowded then, but it surely is now..We travel to southern Colorado Telluride and all those places where Louis L'Amour wrote his many books, the big city of Denver is not what it used to be although it has all the jobs so people are forced to live and work there if they want to make the big money, ski areas took a beating this winter we are told toooo..so colorful Colorado is colorful alright but not like it used to be at all, time and too many people is taking it's toll..You are retired and rv'ing that is far different than if someone has to make a living and homes are exorbitant for what you actually get to buy for the money that they want, we live in the pacific northwest it is usually 210 days of rain, snow and brrr freezing, NOT ANYMORE, warmest and driest weather in recorded weather records and makes for kind of like Colorado weather only humid, one cannot ever have heaven on earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
