    Just like glass…

    Jeff said this morning that water at Arapaho Bend Natural Area was just like glass this morning when he drove by. About 11am I drove out there to find some journaling time and the water was still just like glass. As you can see we have blue sky and a few clouds. I hope you are having a good Friday! And for all who didn’t know today is National Fountain Pen Day.

    Its Cold This Morning

    Frost is on everything. Temperature gauge on my dashboard says 7 degrees  (F). Makes for cold toes. We are expecting similar nighttime lows for the next 5 days. Stay warm!

    An Inviting Window

    Through the WIndow

    Have you ever wondered how many times you’ve looked out a window? Too many to count. There are many things in life we just take for granted and windows are one of them. A window will separate us from our natural world: rain, dust, wind, cold, heat, sounds, while at the same time allowing us to feel like we are outdoors. Looking through a window can invite us to step outside of our comfortable homes and encounter nature. It was lightly raining as I took this image from the hotel lobby looking out into a courtyard. You can see a gazebo which was inviting me outside. And yes, I did get wet but enjoyed it.
