It is still very cold here in Northern Colorado, but blue skies are back and that helps everyone feel better. However, it is Coyote mating season and they have been on the prowl. While typically it isn't a concern, this year we've seen one Coyote that was shot in the leg and he spent quite a bit of time up next to our wrought iron fence. It being shot wasNanaNor'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03608980502430055753noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8065263771167858859.post-74142719267338898452023-01-09T15:36:00.000-07:002023-01-09T15:36:55.420-07:00A Most Beautiful Time of Year Happy Monday to you!

January has started out the same, with lots of white stuff.

Yesterday hubby and I took a drive up to the Rockies to check out the colors. We had been given mixed reviews, one friend who only went into Estes told us there were none and someone else said that yes there were. We did find out if you only went into the town you wouldn't see any, but going into the Park there were so many vibrant colors.

This last week we went camping up in northern Wyoming, to an area we hadn't been to before. It was quite the drive-7 hours and the elevation of the campground was 8,300+'. It was so beautiful!

Two weeks ago we drove out to Lake Tahoe for five days; hubby spent most of his childhood summers there and our family always made it a vacation destination.

In a week it will be Christmas eve, how exciting is that! I wanted to share pictures of our granddog Copper's puppies. This was such a small litter, only four but one was still born. They are so much bigger than the previous pups in both her litters, probably because of the number of puppies. In her first litter she had seven and the second litter she had eight.
