A girl’s gotta get older each year but she doesn’t have to act it. I filled the summer day with as much youthful antics as these ol’ bones could endure. The morning began with jump startin’ the ticker by jetskiing at high speeds, bouncing on boat wakes at Chatfield Reservoir – which is quite a feat […]

Oh, Tom

Gotta love a singer with a captivating voice and a bitchin’ sense of humor. And if that didn’t brighten your day this mos def will…
Sleep…Now They’ll Sleep
Sunday, July 29, 2012
I don’t know about you but the first thing that comes to mind when I see poppies is the scene of the poppy field in The Wizard of Oz (or the Seinfeld episode about Elaine testing positive for Opium). And that may be my reason for wanting to grow poppies in our garden this year…to […]
Chair Planters
Sunday, July 22, 2012
I know this idea has been done over and over again but here is my version of the chair planter. I thought it was kismet that those 14″ wire hanging baskets with the coco lining fit perfectly into the seat…saved me a lot of finagling. Since we’re trying to keep water off the deck as […]
Deck Building 101
Sunday, July 15, 2012
To sustain the momentum of his summer farming experiment or maybe just to make up for the neglect during my summer solo homeowner experiment, Tony has been super project oriented and the major task of the early summer was a backyard deck. Planning began in the fall when he decided to prematurely remove the concrete […]
Olympic Fourth of July
Sunday, July 8, 2012
To inaugurate our completed deck (and the fireworks vantage point from it) we hosted a Fourth of July cook out. I added a theme – The Olympic Games – which fit well with the usual red white and blue decor of the holiday and hand delivered as many invites as I could while Tony phoned […]
Sun Vases
Sunday, July 1, 2012
When we completed our front yard fence we decided to attach solar lanterns on the posts to add that necessary guidance for those late night home arrivals. Sticking with this mini solar panel eco theme, I wanted to find a unique way to light up the backyard deck for those late night home stay-ins. (Okay, […]
About a Dog
Sunday, June 10, 2012
Hidden among the urban farm footage I found this short video gem (well, I like it) of Tony in close up telling a cute story about our pup Delaware. It’d be great if our dog had his own video series about his Dela-wacky experiences then he could finally afford a raw diet.
Eggs Sardou with Grits
Sunday, May 27, 2012
A friend recently opened a breakfast and lunch eatery – Sassafras (2637 W 26th Ave Denver) – not too far from our digs and it has quickly become our new favorite brunch destination. Not only is it off the beaten path in a Victorian house turned restaurant with all the stylings of dining at a […]
How to Spell Chicken
Sunday, May 20, 2012
I’ve yet to give a proper introduction to our backyard chickens. So as not be playing favorites with the goats… Below is a video of the winter day in February when we picked up eight Rhode Island Red pullets from a farm out in Parker, Colorado and ushered them into their new home. The brood has been an […]
