The Hills Are Alive, and My Patio is Full of Food!

Today has been filled with the outdoors. Boulder offers an incredible amount of trails, paths and hiking areas. We decided to take my family to Flagstaff to get a better view of Boulder and the surrounding area. Words cannot describe how beautiful the mountains looked from the top of the Flatirons. Pictures rarely do them justice.

Why do they always come out so small???

We all hiked up Flagstaff Summit and looked around the the amphitheater at the top before parting ways. Chris, Dad and Tim wanted to hike down to the bottom of the Flatirons, but they needed someone to pick them up at the end of the trail. Mum and I decided to take the Ute trail back to the car and get them at the overlook.

It was a beautiful day and a really nice hike.It is still difficult to believe that we are in March right now with all of the 60* weather we have been afforded!

When we got back, we decided to relax a bit, and Dad helped me to re-pot all of my seedlings!

The swiss chard was ready to go into a pot of their own, as was my green bean. We’re having a window box that will be filled with herbs. Rosemary, basil, chives, cilantro and mint all at my doorstep. For veggies, we now have swiss chard, hot peppers, green beans, zucchini, sugar snap peas and broccoli. I can’t wait until they are a bit taller than seedlings!!!!
