Pi Bar
We recently discovered the new-to-us restaurant called 3.14 Pi Bar. I had the Guiness Stew Pot Pie and it was awesome. Unfortunately, it was too filling to try any of their sweet pies at the same time.

Chatfield Farms
In July, we went to Chatfield Farms near Littleton, Colorado, a facility which is part of Denver Botanic Gardens.
Happy Holidays
Happy winter holiday of your choice from Miss Piggy and the rest of us at Five Acres with a View.
Five Years Ago
Five years ago, on June 23, 2012, I was reading Twitter when it blew up with reports of the so-called Pyramid Mountain Fire. I walked out of my garage and took this photo. A few hours later it was renamed the Waldo Canyon Fire, notorious as being the most expensive wildfire in Colorado until the Black Forest Fire not quite one year later.

Across the Road
Although we see them fairly frequently in another part of our valley, it is rare to see elk across the road from our house.
Hummer in the Snow
During the spring snowstorms yesterday, the hummingbirds seemed particularly appreciative of our feeders.
Rooftop Snow
We are currently getting some snow. Since it is wet and soggy, it is curling off the roof in this photo.
