We DO have a back entrance with no steps for those not willing to mount our step laden entrance. Enjoy the music and sing along with husband Eric.
Russian sage (perennial) grow beautifully in Estes Park. No need to water, although watering does boost their lush growth and intensifies their lavender-blue flower. The plants in this photo are about two years old. Each year they will come back larger and fuller.
Here I show russian sage plants that are about 10 years old. In a few more weeks this plant will fully blossom with lavender-blue coloroed flowers. The tall green plant next to the sage is asparagus foliage (75 years or older). Click picture to be taken to Burpee.com for more information on different varieties.

This is a photo I shot in our meadow. We have a wonderful natural rock garden…which is doing much better than my domesticated flowers this year. Click this image for a beautiful Estes Park site.

Spectacular day in the 60s. I spent Tooo much time in the office, on the phone, and on the computer. HOWEVER, a few hours outside with my Canon EOS 5D and I found paradise!
Entrance into Estes Park from Lyons/Boulder via Hwy 36 “welcome comity”. Picture taken from the top of park hill.
Today’s Find: An old rusty treasure I’ll use to plant basil in this summer after I’ve lined the box with clear plastic. Last year I used the basil as a green/silvery accent in my flower garden. The hungry elk do not like herbs. Basil is wonderful in cream cheese and eggs.
This is the cabin I forged through
