It was a beautiful weekend in Colorado. Both days were in the 80s, and it was so nice to be outside all weekend. Today was especially beautiful. Look at that sky. I have yet to see a sky bluer than the one in Colorado. Must have something to do with the altitude.
The hubs and I went "hiking" in Waterton Canyon, which is a beautiful canyon that goes through the foothills. The Platte River runs through it, and people love to walk/run, ride their bikes, and ride their horses through it. It's been closed for about 2 years because they've been dredging the dam in the canyon, trying to get silt and ash out of it from previous forest fires. Of course, about 2 weeks after they finished (and did a poor job), there was a fire, and more ash definitely fell in it. You know what they say...
Waterton is home to bighorn sheep, which means that dogs are not allowed since they are considered predators. When we were walking along the road, we saw a big herd of the sheep up on the foothills. They're so majestic! Here's a few pictures. Make sure to look in the rocks, and you'll see quite a few of them. I cannot wait to get a "grown up" camera so my pictures are better and clearer.

As an update to previous ramblings posts, the fire is contained. Also, I should be waking up to rain/snow tomorrow, so it'll be out soon. Yes, it goes from 80 to snow. Does that happen elsewhere?
I'm on week 9 of my running program, and I ran 30 minutes today. First time ever! If you started the program, keep with it. It gets better! At the very least, you'll be proud of your accomplishments.
