Another Rainy Day

Today was yet another rainy day.  This is the most I have seen it rain in Colorado (at least for the past 2 1/2 years).  Usually it rains and the next day is sure to be sunny, but we had 3 days of rain, one day of sun, another day of rain with an evening of sun, 1-2 days of rain, and now a rainy forecast for the next week.  Today it poured so hard it was overflowing from our rain gutters (see picture)  Anywho, last night I made Fudgy Rum Brownies (see picture below).  There sure are delicious.  Today I made hummus for the first time, watched a movie, went to dinner with the husband, and watched the finale of America's Next Top Model.  It was a nice relaxing day!  I even got to talk to my sister for a long time!  

Until later, signing off from FoCo!

Finally Summer is Here!

Well, summer is finally here!  I am officially done with my second year of graduate school and I got straight A's this semester!!!  Yay :o)  I have the next two weeks "off", then I begin my new job at The Farm!  I'll be coordinating and facilitating farm activities, snacks, crafts, and games for all the kiddos who come for a day of fun at the farm.  Some of my friends are graduated and moving away for their internship, so I'm trying to spend as much time with them as possible.  Plans for this week: to plant veggies and herbs in the big barrel flower pot I have on our back patio.  The front garden is growing gradually, the hops are about 3 inches or so, and the sunflowers and others are close behind.  It's been raining a lot (even for Colorado), so hopefully that will help them grow!


More to come!

Why a Blog?

I've decided to create this blog to allow friends and family (mainly those not on Facebook) to stay caught up with my life.  Even on Facebook, I don't always go into very much detail of daily events in my life. 


Hope you all enjoy hearing more about what's going on.  I'll try to post regularly and please feel free to comment!


Love,
Karmen
