As the sun sets today it also sets on the year. 2009 brought a lot of current events, personal events and great stories to share. It was, like all years, a very good one. Raise your glass of wine or champagne to toast away 2009 and welcome 2010. Happy New Year!

Paperwhite update:
6 weeks after planting 20 bulbs in water over rocks the blooms are opening in full. Not all 20 have started to open so I think in whole the arrangement will last quite some time. It will welcome in the New Year with a bouquet of white and a heady evening fragrance

Making tracks in the fresh morning snow!
It snowed again last night and this morning. It was a perfect opportunity to make tracks in the new fallen snow.... something I enjoyed doing as a skier. Kate is trying it out too. She circles the yard crunching on the snow and leaving her mark for the morning.
Kate or Whitney
I zoomed in on one of my other shots and realized that this picture of Kate looks just like her Mommy when she was 2 or 3.
Snowy trip to the Denver Zoo
Oh what a great day for the zoo!. We pulled up to park and wondered if the zoo was open. There were about 8 cars in the lot which was so different from the last visit when we had to park blocks and blocks away. It seemed as though the animals loved the lack of human stalkers. They were more animated than usual. The lions were enjoying their walk in the snow too just like Kate. The peacocks were in splendid form and posed for many pictures. And the ducks and geese found sanctuary in the pond for the winter.
