A SATURDAY DRIVE....

I'm almost emberassed to admit that I didn't know what was in my back yard here. I headed out today on an unexplored road about 4 miles from the house to see some pretty rocks. He he he... I ended up in Garden Of The Gods park. Take a look.

DINNER?

A subject was approached in the news today that caught my attention. The issue at hand was cloning. There was no discussion of bringing Elvis back or of replacing the pet cat who sadly had exhausted all of his nine lives. No, the discussion instead was what was going to be showing up on our dinner plates? It was stated that "although the majority of Americans are against the cloning of beef and animals as a food source," a bill was passed that will allow for the cloning of meat. It is projected that 80% of our meat will be coming from cloned animals. Even more interesting, our Food And Drug Administration has decided that there is no need for the consumer to know the difference or the source of the meat in which we purchase. There will be no label specifying if our meat had been grown in a lab or from a pasture. Does it disturb anyone else that dinner is coming from a petrie dish?

Welcome to Colorado...

It may be 34 degrees out currently but the sun is shining and the mountains are begging for me to come out and play! I didn't have to venture far today. These mountains are about 8-10 miles from the house. It was a little to cold for the light fleece I was wearing to venture off far from the road but it won't be long before I respond to the inner child who is calling me out to go climbing around on the trails. I understand that within this box canyon are seven different water falls. They are available to see but currently frozen. I'm looking forward to the spring so I can catch them at their fullest!
