Day 28 in my “Leaving Loveland” challenge.

No place is perfect, not even places I dub paradise. Gray days aren’t a habit here so they don’t always get me down, but today has simply been an exercise in getting through it. We had planned to go camping at Great Sand Dunes National Park this weekend. Instead we got snow and cold and turned the furnace back on.

It’s been a good useful day for laundry, cleaning, baking (by Nathan who made banana bread), and online house-hunting. And now Nathan and the kids are off to the climbing gym and I’m thinking of a cup of tea and a good book.

Here’s the view out my living room window this afternoon:

At least the snow isn’t sticking around, and tomorrow’s forecast includes sunshine.
