It is Tuesday, November 3, 2009 and Voting Day across the country. Here in Lakewood, voters either had to mail their ballots in or they can drop off their ballots at different sites across Jefferson County. In our community, there were only a couple of issues to vote on and several ward elections. Even if there isn't much on the ballot, we should all do our civic duty and VOTE. Let's celebrate that we have the opportunity and obligation to participate in the elections!

I woke up this morning knowing that we were expecting snow. At 6 a.m., we had just a few inches of the white stuff...I had several errands that I needed to get done early in the day, so around 9 a.m. I dressed for the weather and headed out.
This is my front yard early this morning as I headed out. This is a very wet, heavy snow and it is still coming down.
Just two days ago, we were grilling steaks on our Weber grill in the backyard. Can't hardly even find it today.
It is now around 2:30, I am so tired from shoveling snow. I made a headway, but I still have a lot to go. I think it is time to stop, get a blanket, dry off - not only me but my dog, Jake, who really loves the snow.....
On friday, I participated in a DAR field trip to the Plains Conservation site in Aurora. Colorado history has always fascinated me, especially since my husband's family homesteaded here back in the mid 1800's. As a former member of "The Shady Ladies of Central City" I have spent many hours studying the roles of women in the settling of the West...from soiled doves to wives of military men...all trying to survive in a harsh environment. So visiting this preserved rendition of an old homestead had special meaning to me.
Touring the small home built of sod and mud, to sitting on the stiff, wooden bench in the one room school house, I could imagine the hardships our families endured as they set down roots in Colorado. Even as the suburban developments creep towards this beautiful park, you can look towards the horizon and transport yourself back in time.
