Sometimes taking trip is a good way to remind you of how much you like where you are. This week I had a chance to go to Michigan to visit family. As great as it is to see family, the gray overcast skies are just not for me anymore. Back in Colorado, today was in the upper 60's and clear, and it just felt good to breath the air and feel the sunshine.

Todays photo is our state flower, the columbine, taken near Snowmass a couple of years ago in the summer. With such a summery day, it just made me nostalgic!
