Funky weather and its effects

It's a grey day this morning out my window and a little bit chilly to start out.  Although I really like it when the year's weather doesn't get hot too quickly, I can't deny that it affects my state of mind when there isn't a bright morning sunrise to greet us.  That said, I love afternoon mountain showers and morning drizzle to sleep in to as well.  But some days you feel more fragile than others, and a little inclement weather can give you a noticeable bump in the road.  All the seasons of life and spirit are precious in their own way, and I shall cherish this and proceed on.

I've been ramping up for the summer season.  I finally got the first date confirmed for the Yellow Pine barbecue in Cuchara as Thursday, June 13.  If you've never been, it's a fun Texas-style barbecue each Thursday night in an old barn at the Yellow Pine Guest Ranch in Cuchara, CO, which has been in operation for several decades.  It's a really special place with great folks, the cool old barn, and my music - Texas style.  Quite often we have a bear sighting on the grounds during the evening, and sometimes we even do a little dancing as the night progresses.  It starts at 6:30 and goes until 8:30 or so, and you must make a reservation by Monday each week if you'd like to attend (719) 742-3528.  Sometimes it even books up the year before with returning guests!  I'm not sure what the price will be this year.  I'd love to have you if you can make it sometime.  You don't have to be a guest at the ranch, but it's a great place for a getaway if you'd like!

I have many more great places to be this summer, and I'll be sharing them as we draw nearer.

I only have one gig to tell you about this week - Mothers Day brunch at Shadow Hills.  We had to cancel brunch at the last minute last week due to illness and vacations of the cooks, but we'll be ready and raring to go again this week.  It's always a great time with some really good food and folks.  The time is 10-3, and they are taking reservations now at (719) 275-0603.  The price is $18.95 for adults.  (Correction for Mothers Day brunch. The price is $21.95.)  I'd love to see you there!

That's it for this week.  Best to you always!

Directions to Shadow Hills:
(There's construction on the regular route, so you need to turn a couple blocks ahead of Elm on Cyanide and follow the Detour signs to get to Elm.) Go south on 9th Street from the main light in Cañon City to the bend in the road and turn right on Elm by the cemetery.  Then it's just one block on Elm before it veers/turns left and becomes Oak Creek Grade.  Twist through a few turns and come over a hill and you'll see the restaurant and club house on your left across the golf course. Then turn left into the drive at the Shadow Hills and The View sign and up to the main stucco two-story building.  The restaurant is up the stairs to your right or take the elevator straight ahead.
