Living with Seasons

It is a pleasure to spend time in a place that actually has seasons.  As a retiree, you really don't need to worry about having to drive to work in the snow or ice.  Just have plenty of food in the house and your computer, TV, and some books-as well as some art supplies and sewing equipment.  Oh yes, and plenty of cat food!  Have the  firewood ready to go in the wood stove if the power should go off.

Who needs to go anywhere?  Even so, if you get cabin fever, you can put on your ice spikes, snow shoes, or cross country skis and take a nice walk.  In a few months, spring and summer will show up all green with flowers.  Then the fall with beautiful leaves and crisp temperatures.

All this and no humidity, misquitoes, or roaches (Texans take note).  A small town atmosphere with lots of caring people.  And wonderful scenery--so keep the camera handy. Am I sold on Estes Park--yup!  Just can't be beat!!
