Deer Eating My Flowers

We don't have many deer here on the ranch, but there are occasionally a few that hang around for the summer. I woke up this morning to find these two eating my "deer resistant" wildflowers. Go figure.

Escape to Mexico

Spring weather in Colorado is very unpredictable. This year has been no exception. It has rained and snowed constantly for the past few weeks. We always plan a vacation in May to escape the dreary weather. This year we spent 9 days in Playa del Carmen, Mexico at a beautiful resort, Secrets Capri.
Playa del Carmen

It is common to find a fish pond in hotel lobby's, but this resort had a turtle pond with 49 turtles. They would occasionally get out of the pond and wander around the lobby until someone found them and put them back in the water. LOL. We often stopped by at feeding time to feed them.

Cabanas at the pool

I spent hours around the pool reading, sunning and relaxing. Too Perfect












One of our awful  selfies. This is my first and last!!


I was fascinated by the Coatis. I had never seen or heard of them prior to this trip. They are known as a Mexican racoon with a very long tail. They run around so fast that I couldn't get a picture.
This is one picture that I snapped of its face as he was hiding in a bush. Look at the bottom in the middle of the photo to see his cute face.
