for my birthday, I hiked 9 miles in on the Colorado Trail to stay overnight at Janet's Cabin, a huge lodge just below timberline 🌲 and then 9 miles back today! Feeling my age 😜 #scenic #views #rockymountainhigh #colorado #summerintherockies #forest #janetscabin #summitcounty #backpacking #hiking #outdoors #nature #outdoorworkout #exercise #challenge #trees #getoutside #birthday

engaging in some rissssky behavior - assembling a puzzle from a thrift store - are all the pieces there? Nobody knows! Especially when the box itself doesn't even give an exact piece count; it says "over 550 pieces" 😂😁😂😁 I like to live dangerously #puzzle #jigsawpuzzle #realmusgrave #wizard #observatory #stargazing #mentalworkout #braingames #thriftshop #astronomy #constellations #looktothestars #turntup #thirtysomething #oldladyhobbies #workingoutmybrain #gottahavefaith #iknowthepiecesfit (at Idaho Springs, Colorado)

I sat on my porch and watched from under the overhang as the rain gushed down from the sky, sitting on the edge so I could feel the mist on my face. When the thick sheets turned into scrappy patches, I let Denali back out and we took a look around the garden. I had to run back inside to grab the phone so I could take some pictures. There's just something about beads of water that is so very pleasing - the orbs of water reflect the surrounding world, curving everything to give you a different perspective. 💦💧 #rainshower #raindrops #water #pansy #flower #ornamentals #coloradogarden #mountaingarden #nofilter #natureisperfect #outdoors #nature #vibrant #negativeions #breatheitin #freshair #meditative #satisfymysoul #rainyday #summerintherockies #idahosprings (at Idaho Springs, Colorado)
