It's really nice out today {for January in New England} nearly 50 degrees and sunny. Such a stark contrast to the recent freezing temperatures! Last week had me dreaming of summer, and those dreams took me back to our trip out west to Colorado, which I realized I never shared. We spent a week out in Breckenridge, a beautiful town nestled in the mountains where we stayed in a breathtaking cabin home that had a river right in the backyard. We enjoyed {unbelievably} fresh air, picked wildflowers, took long hikes, and enjoyed good company. I even rode ATV's through the mountains in Vail....normally I'm too chicken for things like that. It was my first time out to the middle of the country and I can't wait to go out that way again - there is just a certain simplicity to life out there. I think the mountains remind you that we are in fact just small beings, and really, really lucky to be on this earth.
