This week in Lamar Colorado

I left my home in Greeley, Colorado about 10 a.m. this morning.  I live in the northern part of Colorado and our Madonna of the Trail is in southeastern Colorado, about a 4 1/2 hour drive!

I had a great drive.  We have big big skies in Colorado with cream-puff clouds.  Black-eyed Susans were in full bloom all along the sides of the roads.  I couldn't beleive how green everything was, considering mid-August is usually quite dry.  

I stopped at the Visitor's Center in Lamar and dropped off a banner for their windows.  Shortly after I checked into my hotel we had a gulley-washer - with quarter-sized hail!  Took a few videos of the rains (and now I know why its soooo green here)

    Leaving Greeley this morning


    Green fields of corn just south of Greeley

    Just outside Limon, Colorado, look at those clouds!

Eeeekkkk!!  I have a feeling I am going to have a week of bad hair days!  Glad I brought my DAR Visor! (I will be fashionable and not have to worry about the hair :))
