We're Not Alone

Its interesting, the tracks you see in freshly fallen snow. We see man made tracks and we wonder who in the world was out in this weather even earlier than us. Then we happen upon tracks like these, and want to follow them. These deer tracks are becoming more common along some Goodnight Ave side streets. It seems the wildlife comes up from the river for a visit while we are sleeping.

Stop to Smell the Roses

C'est cliché, I know. But here at PPAD we do, are accused of always having done, and I expect we always will - stop to smell the roses - literally. Especially here in Pueblo. We could start a whole other blog on Pueblo's roses alone. Pueblo-ans love their roses! No matter what neighborhood, no matter if you are in a well manicured yard, or a yard with only dirt, you will most assuredly not go far without seeing a rose bush! It makes me want to use an old Southern exclamation, "This town has more roses than you can shake a stick at!".  So while we can sometimes hardly get a good pace on our usual "wog" because we stop so often to swoon at rose buds, we thought we'd celebrate these lovely flowers and all flowers of the city before our heat streak does them all in. Forgive us if we get out of hand in the coming weeks, and flower photos start to bore you. We however, think its good for our hearts to stop and gaze at a sweet blossom on a regular basis...

This door is an eye catcher with the mix of green and turquoise and the dots of purple flowers.

Central High School

The location from "Where are We Wednesday?" was Central High School! The historic
100+ year old building showcases these crowns atop its columns up towards the 6th floor along the sides and above its front entrance. Thanks for guessing everyone!

St Patrick's Church, circa 1882

"What God has united, let no man divide" -- Father Michael Byrne, March 19, 1988.

This historical building, built in 1882 has been closed for about 4 years, but still looks to be in good shape.
