  • These two beauties were right outside our door this week.  We walked up close to them before they started getting nervous and started their honking noise.  We have spent the week in Pagosa Springs, Colorado  for a much needed get-away.   There are times in our lives when it's good to go somewhere different.  It helps to get refreshed, relax and just get a different perspective on things.  We love coming up here especially at the resort's "quiet time".  It is so early in the season that there aren't even many ducks or geese on the lake.  My guess is that these swans were just on their way through, because we only saw them one day.  The weather has been rather chilly, the trees are still bare and the grass is just  beginning to green up.  The mountain peaks are still covered in snow, the air is crisp and clear and it is very quiet. 

    We haven't done much of anything (isn't that the purpose of relaxing?).  Once we get back home we will be back in the middle of getting our garden ready for spring planting, going to Nathan's graduation (on May 21), and taking care of business as usual.
