Over the New Year I moved back down to Boulder, along with the Mountain Terriers and Emma.  While I no longer reside "directly in the mountains" I now live just steps from the foothills and the Boulder Flatirons are viewable from my windows.  I've been so busy getting settled that I haven't had a chance to get any pictures of these stunning formations, but it is on my to-do list for when I return.  Stay tuned for some pictures. 

Boulder has lots of wildlife, right in the city.  A small heard of deer were just a few doors down the other day.  Bear and mountain lions frequently make the news as they hang out in peoples trees, end up getting tranquilized and relocated.  Brazen squirrels have been dancing along the top of the fence.  I know I'll have lots of birds as soon as I hang the feeders. 

While change is challenging, it is also good.  I'm enjoying being just blocks from a grocery store, and I have a smorgasbord of restaurants to select from should I want take out.  Of course, this being Boulder, I have miles and miles of running and biking trails.  I am blessed with wonderful friends in town, and now they are just a hop, skip and jump from my front door. 

All in all I'm happy with the move.  Lots of adjustment, but it is all good!
