On Wednesday, midday, we went a few blocks from Oolie's house to Dog Tooth Coffee for some coffee and chai. What a great little local coffee shop! Friendly people and yummy chai!
Inside on the wall is this wonderful painting that was done by two young brothers (aged 7 and 9?) in honor of their dog who died. I fell in love with this painting right away and had to have a photo of it to share with you. Isn't it charming? LOVE the mice sitting on his back.....
And on the way home...THIS IS THE VIEW! Pike's Peak! Right down the street form Oolie's house! It is incredible, really, to look up and see this 14,200 ft mountain RIGHT THERE!!!
...........absolutely fantastic.....
And, here is Oolie's backyard ..... looking at the house. Isn't it cute? The arched doorway goes into the room where we were working, and my bedroom was up on the second floor on the left.
The trees below are at the other end of the yard from the above photo...

I bet that it is soo beautiful in the summer when the flowers are blooming. There are lilac bushes all along the edge of the yard. It is between seasons right now, so things are still a little brown around the edges. But, it's beginning to start sprouting and won't be long...
