    After the Rain

    Water Drops After the Rain
    Water Drops After the Rain

    Both Friday, Saturday and into Sunday morning we had lite rain and mist, the gentle sort of rain that is hardly noticeable but everything is wet. The rain let up about mid morning Sunday. I could see the raindrops on the bushes outside my condo so I grabbed the camera to see what photograph may be given me.

    This past weekend was graduation so all around campus traffic was a mess and you might as well forget about finding a table at any restaurant. Needless to say there were all sorts of colorful umbrellas everywhere. More photo opportunities. 🙂

    I’m writing this on Sunday evening and scheduling it to post on Monday morning. And, the weather app is predicting more rain on Monday.  Hope everyone has a super Awesome week.

    Now Have Four

    The Four White Pens
    The Four White Pens

    This is not the best image but it shows my four white fountain pens. From front to back I have a white Pilot Prera, White Nemosine Singularity, White TWSBI Classic and a White Tiger Pilot Metro. The newest one is the TWSBI Classic. All of them are nice writers and no I do not have a favorite, yet. After taking this image I realized how all of them have silver trim. Now, I have more decisions to make each morning. 🙂

    Enjoy your weekend!

    Jessup Farm

    Happy Friday! Clear skies this morning after three days of cloudy skies and rain that brought over 2 inches of much needed moisture. The mountains received snow with as much as 2 feet in Rocky Mountain National Park. That will put a smile on the farmers faces in eastern Colorado as well as golfers in Phoenix. 

    Jessup Farm was a turn of the century farm owned by Joseph and Mary Jessup. In 2011 it was developed into an innovative, adaptive reuse plan to preserve, restore, and rehabilitate the historic integrity of the farmstead. It’s been developed into the Buckingham housing and the Artisan shops. One of these shops is Bindle Coffee. 🙂 There is a barber shop, dress shop, couple of restaurants, portrait studio, brew house, fitness place. Needles to say there is no more farming. However, they do have a chicken coop with chickens that roam around outside.
