Change

Remember these?

New paint, new place.

Puppy Luvs

Epic squee.

You know how I know Mike's out of town?

Mason Jars

They're like the frying pans of 2013.  Who knew, right?!

Place

For $25 and free shipping from Amazon, you really can't ask for more.

Accessories

My co-worker's shoes are brighter than mine, no joke.

Plotting

This is happening.

What Mike Made Me

I am floored by his wood-working skills.  Here's a picture..."I could make that."  And he does.

Overgrown

When you plant new sod you're not supposed to walk on it, and therefor mow, for three weeks...

 Before...

 Ahhhhhfter!

Foo Foo

Quivas is the place to be...

Enchantment

My parents sent me photos of their yard; it never ceases to amaze and delight.

Really, Denver?

Ladies Happy Hour

Love these girls!

Mint Condition

Freecycle wheelbarrow FTW!

Weekend Biz Results

Bam.

Backyard Biz

Almost Camping

Overnight camping just wasn't in the cards for us...but we did have a beautiful drive...

Amber Waves of Grain

Keebler adores tall grass.

High Tea with Heidi, Round 2

We have begun a monthly tradition, which I love!  On our second tea-tasting, we went to Boulder Tea House.  While we preferred the Huckleberry, the surroundings couldn't have been more fascinating!

Next stop: The Brown Palace High Tea!

Until next year, Palisade...and eventually when we can retire

Day 3

We love our little piece of paradise.

 Planning the ride ahead...

 A new fav: Meadery of the Rockies!  This was our second visit...everyone in town knew us at this point.  We even got invited to a private Winefest party!

 "Downtown".

Last dinner at Palisade Brewing Co.  They seriously have some delicious pub fare (and we were invited to participate in the local poker game occuring that night as well).

Toasting our last day in Palisade with home-made root beet!

 We spent the evening talking to a couple locals until the wee hours of the morning at Peach Street Distillery.  A perfect end to our 2013 Palisade adventure.

Day 2

 We discovered some interesting art along the Fruit & Wine Byway...

 The view just cannot get any better.   We want to live here.

We met up with another couple we saw at our second trip to St Kathryn.  Unfortunately I didn't get any photogs of the epic laughter that ensued!

Day 1

Bikes are prepped and we are ready!

 Look at that gorgeous ride...we somehow managed to fit it in the Edge, along with Mike's bike!

 We began at a new winery, Canyon Winds, which was a winery we didn't sample last year.  We also discovered the Meadery!  Life-changing...

 No idea what this would cause...

 Meke!

 We heart our bikes...

 Our fav: Maison la Belle Vie for wine, cheese, bread, and prosciutto!

 Ended at our other fav...St Kathryn Cellars!

 Grabbed some dinner after a loooong afternoon nap (it's really hot here) at Palisade Brewing Co.

What made the day even better was knowing we had two more just like it to look forward to!
