Last weekend, we took a little trip to the mountains to check out the leaves changing. Although I do miss the variety of fall colors in TN, the aspens are pretty spectacular as well. We camped Friday night near Kenosha Pass and then headed back to the pass for a bit of hiking on the… Continue reading It’s Fall in Colorado

Mandy’s Wedding
While in Nashville, we had the pleasure of attending my old roommate Mandy’s wedding in Gallatin. Mandy spent countless hours making countless items for the wedding.

As expected, based on the baby zucchini when… Continue reading Slowly fading
