Boredom Busters

It's fall

and time to learn how to press leaves so that you can preserve their colors and maybe even make a bookmark for a holiday gift!

It just takes some patience, a bit of wax paper, and an iron! It's an old fashion method of leaf preservation.

Oh yeah, that's one smart cookie!
That's just a punny costume!

How many punny costumes can

you come up with for this Halloween?

Every garden should have a scarecrow!

Gather an empty toilet paper roll, a popsicle stick, a little colored paper, and your imagination for this garden craft! You could even go to town with pipe cleaners on this one! What about spaghetti for hair?

Flashback Friday

Holy Cow!

It's snowing outside so that means it might be time to get out the sweaters and long sleeved shirts!

Wait! What am I saying? This is Colorado!

The weather will change by tomorrow!

Nonetheless, it is time to change the seasons of my wardrobe!

Then there's Mountain Bike Joe....

forever training, forever sightseeing in historic downtown Durango....

I think he oughta consider his fall and winter wardrobe as well cuz he needs to keep his body warm as he continues on his training regimen for Iron Horse 2014! Maybe he'll train indoors this winter? He never can decide this difficult decision anyway. The fresh air, the gorgeous scenery, the sounds of nature vs. the creeks of the floors of the house, the dog barking, and the lure of the couch.... Wow! Joe does have an Iron will.
