Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at our back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
May the rain fall soft upon your fields.

May you be poor in misfortunre, rich in blessings.
Slow to make enemies, quick to make friends.
But rich or poor, quick or slow,
May you know nothing but happiness from this day forward.

Making a new friend in Ireland!

Genessee Elk

Posted by kristal on March 13th, 2005

On the way to show property we found the famous Elk residents of Genessee. At first they were grazing on the side of I-70. Later they moved to safer terrain below the Frontage Road.

Great Ending to My Real Estate Week

Posted by kristal on March 4th, 2005

Today was filled with showing properties in Douglas County. My clients are considering Bell Mountain Ranch, Plum Creek, Castle Pines North and Keane Ranch. We ended up late this afternoon in Keane Ranch, what a marvelous time of day to be in that part of the world.

From the house you could see the Front Range of the Rockies for miles and miles. It was the kind of view most would agree is excellent.

Upon parting with my clients (they followed me, since they were headed south), I notice a herd of buffalo grazing at Bear Dance. Not wanting to miss such a site, I pulled the car over, grabbed my camera and positioned myself along the fence.

Buffalo are so amazing. Watching them against the backdrop of the foothills was a relaxing, mesmerizing way to end my day.

I’d like to share my photos with you…hope you enjoy! Dscn0702buffalo Dscn0688buffalo
