Jack, who is not a morning person, does not see too many sunrises. However, he had to get up early this morning for a 7:00 conference call, and called to me: “Get your camera, quick!”

Looking south from the ridge that lies to the north of us, one can see an edge of Cheyenne Mountain over the ridge that divides our valley from the Air Force Academy.

Yesterday, it was very windy on the plateau to the north of our house, so we walked along the crest of the ridge instead. Jack took this photo of our place. I think of our five acres as being a rectangular plot, but you can see that it is actually more of a wedge.

I gave Jack a heart monitor and a pedometer for Christmas this year, and we have been taking walks to test them out. The heart monitor has a strap that goes around his chest, with a readout that looks like a watch, and it seems to work quite well. He says it is comfortable enough to wear all the time.

Every year, I try to get one or two new ornaments for the tree. I bought this one at Joann’s a few days ago.

Due to chinook wind conditions, we had a spectacularly beautiful sunrise two mornings ago.

I knew we had a chance of snow today, but didn’t expect to wake-up to near blizzard conditions. This photo was taken through the screened window of my office.
