Elsewhere: Cloudarado, the Final Chapter (for now)

Colorado

Never did finish up on my visit.  Took photos of a few neat places in Paonia.  One is the underside of an outside awning on an old building.

The weathered wood has such great colors and textures.  Then add the brick in the next photo.

This next property you can own for $113,000.  For Harry Potter fans out there, the first thing I thought of looking at this was The Burrow.

The Burrow of course would be taller, but still – it’s the first thing I thought of.

If you want a really fine meal or the best cinnamon roll around, go to the Flying Fork.

And what artist wouldn’t want this as a studio?  I would love to be elsewhere when I work.

Remember the start of this visit? Snow, hail, the 50 mph windstorm,  freezing fog? It ended with Steve and Jackie mowing the lawn.

And it ended with dinosaurs.  Karen knows where all the best clearance sales are and I got this at the Walmart in Delta.  It’s amazing and I asked her to buy me one.  She’ll bring it next time she visits Cali.

Jack arranged his smaller dinosaurs in preparation for carnage.

We had one last walk outdoors.  Annabelle and Jackson carried on the motto the Bakersfield Six coined last year – why walk when you can run – uphill?

Cooper, however, is very determined about something.

It wouldn’t be Cloudarado without one final display.

Amazing colors.  And now – for some amazing rays

And now, I am too tired to continue. So say goodbye to Colorado for now.  Tomorrow I’ll bring you the next installment in the Case of the Damaged Toe, the pond and the frog, and my new blog design.

Now, to sleep, hit the hay, slumber, snooze, get 40 winks (why do I only get 40), and all that other sleepy stuff.  Night all.
