Well, it wasn't the New Orleans Christmas as it was billed but it sure was a lot of fun!

What a year for football. Roll Tide Roll! and Go Broncos!

Surprise flowers from Honey.

Supper with Honey and Honeybun at Steuben's in N Cap Hill was delish! The wait was long but I guess it was a testimony to the popularity of the place. I had the roasted chicken that Guy Fieri featured and got a glimpse of the stencil that he left behind.

Denver has developed so many interesting neighborhoods since I lived there years ago. Nice to have a son living in a town that I want to explore. But today: Lafayette Peach Festival, the Zydecoasters and Oskar Blues. And also that free Jazz Festival in Niwot with Henry Butler. Great late summer days. (photo from Yelp.com)

Now it's squirrels and deer and snakes in the yard; fava beans and fennel from the farm; record rain and high water in the creek. I love this time of year.

The little garden in the back yard has given us some kale, collards, peas and tomatoes so far and I really hope the okra makes it this year.
