I thought it would be fun to blog weekly some of the things that I enjoy about living here. After all, my husband and I chose Colorado over the other 49 states when we decided to move, so obviously we felt there was much to recommend it.
Today I'd like to talk about the sunshine. Did you know there are on average 250 days of sunshine a year here? Today, for example, it was about 40 degrees, but if you were warm inside and just looked out of doors, you'd have guessed it was 75. Since I grew up on a fog-socked peninsula, I feel absolutely spoiled by all the full spectrum light.
The best days are the ones where the ground is covered with glittering snow but the sun is blaring and the sky is piercing blue. If and when clouds make an appearance, you can enjoy the spectacle of the Front Range as it transforms from slate gray to purple as it did so many years ago to inspire a certain composer, who dubbed it the mountain's 'majesty.'
