Beaver Creek Mountain Village

I made a mountain journey this past weekend to Beaver Creek Mountain Village where I met up with my son, his wife and three grandchildren. Beaver Creek Mountain Village is sweetly nestled in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. When Colorado sought to host the  1976 Winter Olympics , Beaver Creek development was part of its successful bid in May 1970 The drive from our home is an easy 3 hour drive. I took highway 25 onto 470 West and intersected with 70 West which took me right into the middle of the glorious Rocky Mountains. The views were amazing and I popped open the sunroof (20 degrees) revved up the heater and the music too. Carole King was my radio companion for most of the way. The Aspen Tree  has always been a favorite of mine, any time of the year. Beaver Creek ski area operates on National Forest System lands under special use permit to the White River National Forest . The 30-year permit assigns a portion of the bundle of rights associated with land ownership to the permit hold

Welcome March!

Welcome family, friends and March to At Home With Jemma. March arrived in Colorado like a Lamb and then quickly turned on a dime and became a roaring lion. I am discovering that I enjoy Mother's Natures weather games, because no matter how much snow we get the sun spreads her golden beams of sunshine through the frosty Ponderosa Pine branches. Sadie and I Walk Sadie and I walk pretty much everyday and she loves, loves the frosty snow and it seems I pretty much to do. She's my sweet Golden and I love her. Sadie May 15 Months Jack Frost Jack Frost works his magic on puddles of melted snow and the crunch of the ice as it snaps and crackles often times makes Sadie jump an inch or two or more... It seems to us that Sadie thinks she is a Kangaroo these days and we have now nicknamed her Roo. Early signs of Spring Among the Pines and Sun It is the long walks with Sadie among the pines and sun that center us both. Happiness Is Also Creating
