Springtime in the Rockies



Well it's back to work for us - we are innsitting in Golden Colorado again and it is our favorite time of year here - SPRINGTIME!  So lovely!  One of our favorite things to do is go hiking in the Rockies.



There are so many beautiful trails near Golden that it is hard to choose but one of the most popular is Lair O' the Bear . Although it is usually pretty crowded, you can get away if you hike far enough up Bear Creek and into the hills above. The flowers are stunning in the springtime and it is hard to decide which is prettier. Kirk votes for "Indian paintbrush" but I like the old fashioned lilacs you can find around old homesteads. There are old homesteads scattered all through the Rockies and it always tugs at my heartstrings to think of the pioneer women who would try to make their cabin more beautiful with flowers.


Anyhow, after a hike it's nice to come "home" and look who waits for us in our garden.......AWWWWW
