Slatkin & CO. Candles

I so enjoy a good scented candle. My all time favorite candles are from Slatkin & CO. You can purchase Slatkin & CO candles at Bath & Body Works. For the 2010 holiday season, I am enjoying Winter and Fresh Balsam. The house smells heavenly!

Oh Christmas Tree

It's that time of year again....My favorite time, tree time! The Saturday after Thanksgiving, we went out and found our perfect tree. This year, our home will house a 7ft Grand Fir. I love the fragrant smell of Grand Firs! It was originally over 8ft, but for it to fit well in the corner, we had to do some cutting. How come Christmas trees look so much smaller outside? LOL...Once you bring them inside, the shock of how big they really are, finally sets in ;) I guess we could always measure first, but that would end up taking all the fun out of it! This year, I will gladly be using all the left-over branches in all my other Christmas decorating.


Here she is....The perfect tree in a sea of other trees!


The Hubby tying her on the roof of our Yukon.


The tree stand is on and it's time to lift her up.


Uh oh! She is leaning, but we can fix that =)


There is nothing like watching, Irving Berlin's "White Christmas", as we decorate the tree. It always puts you into the Christmas spirit...Now, let the decorating begin =)

Autumn In Colorado

I have to say, my favorite time of year in Colorado is Autumn!




The Mountains sprinkled in shades of gold.





Driving slowly down a dirt road to get a close up view of an Aspen Grove, as the trees begin to turn.




Watching the Moose soak up the Autumn sun, while filling their bellies full of food, before cold and snowy days ensue.





Listening to a Bull Elk bugle, during the Fall Rutt......




And watching them round up their Harem in Rocky Mountain National Park.




Walking around our neighborhood park, and catching a glimpse of the morning sun peaking through the trees....




and enjoying the gorgeous hues of red and gold!



Lastly, watching the peaceful morning light; dance on the water of our neighborhood pond.




“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.” ~ John Muir

Happy Autumn!
