ahhh, we had such big plans this weekend but alas they were cut short by incessant rain and snowy trails. We headed up to Mt. of the Holy Cross this weekend to do a little car camping and maybe hike part of the trail of this well known 14er. Talking with the very helpful ranger at the Forest Service station halted our plans when he said the road to the trailhead won't be open till the middle of June because of snow.
So I did a little of this
while Lenny took on the ever important task of cutting a stick with a rock to use as a prop to keep our tailgate open a smidge while we slept.
Maybe it was on purpose, but does anyone else think there might have been a little "oopsie" moment when this bridge was built?
p.s. don't forget to check back on Wednesday for the big sew mama sew giveaway day!
Wow! I had no idea that flower was that big! Those pictures make me wish I was back in Colo. *sigh*

I love Colorado...looks like you had fun! :)
Creepie w/ the bridge...I sure hope that was to be...did you drive on it?

Yes, I think I would speed over that last part of the bridge!
Stick sculpting and crocheting in the mountains looks like a fine way to spend the first half of the weekend!
(we've been sick here - so no fun going on around these parts. okay, maybe a little sewing.)

It hasn't been a good weekend for outdoor activities has it. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip. I haven't been up there in years. It is very beautiful.

Now that's our kind of camping, Penny! Too bad its been so rainy there, what a great hike you would have had! At least you took advantage of a gorgeous camping spot to do a little crochet work!
Cheers!

Looks like a great weekend. Winter is coming here so I made a big amount of your hot chocolate mix. The girls love it. 1000 X Thanks.

Tell winter to go away Penny! It's great to be outside isn't it?!

This is like a brain teaser. Is the oopsie moment the lack of support on the right side? Sorry about all the rain. That daisy crochet is soooo cute!

The bridge is hilarious. I love to camp. So fun. Mr. Hive hates it so we don't :-(. Looks like this was fun.
