Winter in Colorado Springs

This is my first winter in Colorado, and I must admit it's been very easy on both the body and the mind. This is the dry side of the mountains, so the humidity is very low, the sunlight is brilliant, and there has been little snowfall. Now this may not be a typical winter...I couldn't say...but it does seem that the days warm quickly with the sun, although the nights cool off very quickly, too. It has been a bit of a shock to the sinuses...after all, the humidity in Hawai'i was always close to 80%...on a sunny day...and we're lucky to get 30% here! Katie has had much more experience living here, and she did promise lots of sunshine.

Having the Garden of the Gods so close has been a real blessing. We have been so busy with paperwork and errands that we haven't gotten out into the country much. We did drive the new motorhome down to Penrose on Sunday to visit some of Katie's old friends. It was grand being back "on the road, again," and I find driving the Class A very easy...just need to plan my turns in advance!
