Change of Season - Continued

I posted this past week how the movement of the sunrise Southward is a sign that our season is changing from Summer to Fall.

We also see signs in shorter days, the beginnings of color change in the Cottonwood leaves to a golden yellow and Sugar and Morgunn's hair beginning to grow out toward their Winter coat.

All are clear signs the season is changing.

However, in New Mexico there is another sign of this season change - yellows and blue/purples.

The wild sunflowers are now blooming profusely everywhere and there are numerous wild flowers that have a blue/purple hue.

Even the most non-observant person can't miss these beautiful, colorful signs that things are a-changing.

Test Yourself

Ever wondered how you would do on an eighth grade exam that was given in 1912? I suspect none of our eighth graders today do very well.

Have you ever wondered how Abraham Lincoln really looked in living color. Here's a color reproduction of a black and white photo of the president.

Headin' Home and First Day

We're heading home today.

Yesterday was a big day for Juliet as it was her first day of kindergarten at Liberty. This is a school that she will be able to attend through the sixth grade. We were blessed to be here to help send her off on this new adventure in her life.

Wade Daniel and Marie took her to her first day and the teacher took a picture of each child and their parent(s).

Leah's Birthday Celebration

Yesterday, Saturday, was the day we celebrated Leah's third birthday. We started the day by going to the Peach Festival in Fort Collins.

While we were there we ran into Juliet and Leah's day care teacher, Brenda. Friday was Juliet's last day of day care before starting kindergarten tomorrow, Monday.

In the afternoon, we went to Spring Canyon park to play, eat cupcakes and for Leah to open her birthday presents.

Happy birthday, sweet Leah!
