Tuesday we saw our first snow in Denver for the year. I still had one sunflower in bloom and it was so refreshing to see it's sunny cheery bloom on a very gloomy day.

Fridays with Kate
On Fridays Kate and I spend the day together playing and exploring. Today we went to the Denver Children's museum where there was a fire engine (one of Kate's favorite vehicles) and an emergency 9-1-1- calling zone. I was pleased when the emergency dispatcher asked Kate her name, address and phone number that she had all the right answers and when all of the important information was collected Kate said "hurry, it's an emergency." Then she put on her fire coat and hat and climbed up to the fire truck diver's seat.....

And then Kate was completely prepared to drive the fire truck and sound the sirens.

Fall leaves
I have been collecting leaves and stuff the last couple of weeks when I take Sophie out for a walk. It has been so fun to pick up leaves the color of limes, lemons, chocolate and all shades of reds and golds. Today I found a cool tutorial on Alisa Burke's blog that inspired me to sketch directly with pen and change a bit of my watercolor technique as well. Very helpful!!! So while it was snowing outside I sat by the fire and sketched and painted. Who can complain about that?
Sophie's first snow
What the heck is this??? Sophie just thought she was going out for a walk but her feet feel funny and "what is this stuff on my ears?"

Ok I planted my sunflowers late but it sort of describes us Californians in our first Colorado snow
