Seeing Double

Over the Christmas break we also got to re-unite Corrina with her sister, Lola. It has been 3 years since they last saw each other. Although, they did not recognize one another they picked up right where they left off. Can you tell who is who?

Alert the Presses!

I was fortunate enough to see my good friend Amy over our short visit to Texas for Christmas. As long as I have known Amy she has had long long hair. The closest she has ventured to short hair was just past her shoulders (yes, daring I know). So to my surprise when I opened the door their stood a very stylish short haired Amy. I released a girlish squeal at the sight of her new do! I was so proud of her! Her boldness definitely paid off because not only does she look awesome, but she was also able to donate 10 inches of her hair to Locks for Love. Behold the now new stylish & smashing Amy Anderes-Damron!!! Love it!!!

It's Baaack!!!!

Here we are with round 2 of winter blizzards! According to the news Golden has 20 inches of snow and this month, December, has already had more snowfall than all of last year. Plus, the storm is supposed to last until Sunday. Here is our front porch last night light only by the street light.

Hace Frio

At 9:30 this morning Golden's snowfall was at 34.5 inches, the snow did not stop until around 12:30pm. Let me paint a picture for you: Nat was walking around in our backyard and at some points the snow was up to his hips, wow! Needless, to say we got a lot of snow. Around 3:00pm today the sun came out and it was joyous! Along with the sunrays coming out so did our neighbors. Everyone was starting on the daunting task of shoveling snow in preparation of returning to normal life tomorrow. Other people were out enjoying the break in the snow storm & the break in the clouds by sledding, cross country skiing in the road, and building snow frogs..yes snow frog...it was quite impressive. Here are a few more snow pics:

This is our backyard around noon.

My snow covered car.

Our front porch.

Our snowy, but sunny street. Notice the bump in right middle, almost background...that is the car that got stuck yesterday. They are going to have fun with that one.

This is the view from my kitchen sink window. You are looking at Table Top Mountain.

Still Snowing

This is a bit of the main story on the Denver Post:
Blizzard paralyzes state
A dangerous blizzard blew into Colorado early this morning, closing nearly every school district, all major airlines at DIA and nearly all of the Interstate highway system in Colorado. I-70 was closed from Denver to Kansas, I-25 closed from south of Denver to New Mexico, I-76 closed to Nebraska and I-80 closed from Cheyenne, Wyo., to Nebraska.

Here a few pics of what we are experiencing here in Golden:

I don't think there are any birdies in the bird house, just a guess?!

This is a picture taken in the middle of our street. The car you see in the left middleground is there because it got stuck. I watched the struggle end there in defeat from the comforts of my heated home.

This the view from the middle of the street looking back at our side yard. Where does the street end and yard begin?

Corrina going for the spotted look.

The snowy remnants of a winter-stricken flower.
