Our local newspaper is holding an outdoor Halloween decoration contest. I had a photo ready to post on their Facebook page even though my dead guys and pumpkins weren’t displayed that early in October. In a month's time in Colorado, decorations could blow to Kansas. I figured the dramatic lighting would make up for some... Continue Reading →

It Was A-Maizing!
My obsession with mazes began as a child. I remember trying to find my way through them on paper and having a difficult time. I've always been directionally challenged. When I discovered a great corn maze was located down the road from our house, my husband, Danny, and I had to go. They should call them,... Continue Reading →
