Spicy gazpacho for two: Like a giant bowl of cold salsa for dinner. Perfect with a giant glass of cold white wine after a grueling hike of Camelback. Yep — I’m one of those idiots you see on the mountain when it is 110 degrees outside. The upside is there...

My dearest Finny, I haven’t forgotten you, my friend. I promise. I realize I haven’t even acknowledged our July sew-along around here — but that’s just because I suck, not because I don’t love you. And there you are, sewing your sweet...

Said goodbye to Cody in Denver… and hit the open road for Wyoming. I was greeted by three giant happy dogs, a cabin full of friends I love and a garden bursting with colors. The cabin has a wrap-around porch, horses, a barn and a 360 degree view of some of the...

I met up with birds of the same feather yesterday — ladies I’ve long admired from afar but hadn’t ever met in person. We met at Denver Fabrics for a bit of excessive textile consumption (they watched; I acted like a fat kid in a candy store. A fat...

I can imagine hikers in the Rockies years ago, love sick and without Facebook/Twitter/Blogs/Cell phones/Texts to embarrass themselves with emotion. Instead, trees and bark met the need. There are fields of Aspens on the San Francisco Peaks in Flagstaff that are...
