our precious water originate. Most of Colorado's water is largely dependent on Colorado's winter weather, from the mountain snow-melt. Once the snow melts it either streams east toward the Atlantic or West towards the Pacific oceans. Some water is diverted, some replenishes our aquifers and the rest is captured in our reservoirs.
Because most of Colorado's population is on the east side of the Rockies or Continental Divide, Pacific bound water is transported to the east side reservoirs. Did you know that 90% of Colorado's water usage is for agriculture! Pipelines have been established to move water through the Continental Divide moving water from the Western Slope to the Front Range.

That's how Frozen Dead Guy Days got it's name. Every year on the first full weekend in March (burrrrrr....) Nederland Colorado celebrates "Grandpa Bredo" who supposedly is still kept on ice in the Tuff Shed. His grandson, a Norwegian immigrant brought his deceased "Gradpa Bredo" to Nederland Colorado in 1989 where his body lies frozen in a shed (at -109F) behind his daughter's old house. I've heard it said that Trygue (the grandson) wasn't aware of American taboos about storing deceased relatives with yard tools...anyway Trygue was finally deported by the US government (not because of his grandfather..), and the City of Nederland Colorado grandfathered in Grandpa Bredo, against all odds, and Grandpa is allowed to remain interned in the Tuff Shed until they discover a cure for being dead.
You know it's winter in Boulder Colorado when the bike racks come off the cars and the ski racks go on AND the fashion changes for the women to "boots with fur" around the top! I think it was my son in law that coined that phrase about Boulder Colorado because it was the first thing he noticed on his very first visit as we went strolling down Pearl Street Mall. Everyone was wearing them! More Boots with Fur....I think he might have been noticing the girls to..do ya think? Pearl Street Mall happens to be within walking distance of the University of Colorado so the mall is abuzz with young inventive fashion designers. Winter in Boulder, ahhhh... Check out why it's so cool.
Who are the biggest employers in the Boulder area? I get asked this question a lot from people that are thinking about moving to Boulder Colorado. Everybody wants to live in this beautiful place and who wouldn't with 300 days of sunshine and some of the best educational institutes around the nation right here in our backyard. Colorado University is by far one of the largest employers; founded in 1876, CU is a tier 1 research institute that received more than $266 million dollars in sponsored research awards in 2007. It sits on 600 acres right in the heart of Boulder Colorado, which by the way, was named America's Smartest City by Forbes magazine in 2008.

Moving to Boulder Colorado is a lot like moving to the moon, if you're from most anywhere else in the US. You think you know what it "should" look like or what you would like it "to look like", but when you actually get here you have to adjust your perceptions a bit. Boulder is located where the great plains end and the Rocky Mountains begin. Boulder isn't all plains and isn't all mountains, but somewhere pleasantly in between - and oh, did I mention the gorgeous foothills? With 300 days of sunshine, 17-25 inches of rain, an average of 158 inches of snowfall each year and with varying degrees of altitudes between 5000 - 14,000 feet above sea level there is an amazing diversity of plants - which gets me to my title point - what is heck is a "xeriscape"?
