Late summer blooms

 

Our street continues to show it's best self as the summer continues to unfold.

Signs of the season

 With some welcome rain and cooler temps, this has been a nice weekend in Boulder!

Life on Gillaspie Drive

Describing the piece

"On Green Mountain"

Some of the variety on display

Charles has a painting on display at the main Boulder library this month. "On Green Mountain" looks great amongst the wide variety of work inspired by the Boulder County Parks and Open Spaces.

In honor of International Cat Day

Stray Cat by Francis Witham

Oh, what unhappy twist of fate

Has brought you homeless to my gate?

The gate where once another stood

To beg for shelter, warmth, and food

For from that day I ceased to be

The master of my destiny.

While he, with purr and velvet paw

Became within my house the law.

He scratched the furniture and shed

And claimed the middle of my bed.

He ruled in arrogance and pride

And broke my heart the day he died.

So if you really think, oh Cat,

I'd willingly relive all that

Because you come forlorn and thin

Well...don't just stand there...Come on in!

(One of the cat cross stich projects Charles did. 14 count /1989 / 8x10 / Designed by Judy Nason © Graphique Needle Arts)

A special golf outing

Charles took part in the Colorado Golf Association's "Away Day" this morning at The Ranch Country Club in Westminster. His score wasn't all that special but a nice foursome to play with and a new course to play on made for an enjoyable outing.
