Welcome to my blog. It is my intention to introduce you to the hidden secrets of Colorado as only a long time resident knows. Join me as I take you on a journey through my eyes as I was introduced to Colorado. Together we will explore the wildlife, the beautiful mountains, wildflowers, local foods, sheep ranching (an age old profession complete with a sheep herder and his dogs). Stay tuned for continuous updates of my world and the things I love.

The Sheep are Back
I am always happy to see the sheep back for the summer. They have been grazing on the ranch for the past several weeks, but with the amount of land they have to cover it has taken them awhile to get to our side of the ranch. I am sure there are some of you that don't see the fascination, but I think they are so picturesque. I doubt the herders and sheep owners see it the same way as I do, but I really think they are cute. Just recently I learned from #Cristine Aldasoro Mitchell that black sheep in a herd help to identify the total number of sheep in the herd, The ratio is approximately one black sheep per one hundred. So if there are 5 black sheep in a herd it is safe to assume that there are 500 sheep total.
