To think this past weekend we were in the upper 90s, and tomorrow morning it will be snowing, a 60+ degree drop. Meanwhile, we still have fires raging in parts of the state. Here‘s hoping the cooler temps and snow help the firefighters get a handle on the fires. #Colorado #Coloradoweather

Cinfhen That‘s insane!!! Stay safe 4y
Skygoddess1 Thank you @Cinfhen Thankfully I don‘t live near the fires so I‘m not at risk for evacuation, and I‘m flying until Wednesday night, so I‘ll miss most of the snow (edited) 4y

That-Bookish-Hiker Wowza! Stay safe!! And people still argue global warming isn‘t real. 4y
bookandbedandtea The ash from those fires has been awful the last few days. I'm not thrilled to wake up to this weather but I hope it at least kills the fires. 🤞🙏🤞 4y
MsMelissa I‘m in Canada and there was an article on our news about the weather in Colorado today 😂 4y

Ripley and I went hiking this morning with our friends. We went to Alderfer/Three Sisters Park in Evergreen, CO. This was Ripley‘s longest and most difficult hike to date, but he handled it like he‘d been doing it his entire life. Here we are at the top at Brother‘s Lookout. #colorfulcolorado #hikingdog #dogsoflitsy #travel #mountainlife

Sace He looks so regal! What a handsome hiker! 6y
Skygoddess1 @RestlessFickleBookHoarder Thanks. He was definitely living his best life and taking a moment to enjoy the view for sure. 6y
Sace You both look so happy 😊 6y

Found this while shopping with my daughter the other day and it made me laugh so it's now hanging in my office. 😎 #cantspellcoloradowithoutrad

TheFunkyBookworm “Olds” 😂🤣😂 oh so true! Hahaha love this! 6y
AmyG Hooray Colorado! 6y
Quirkybookworm What part of Colorado are you in? Not perfect here today in my part of CO. 😕 6y

bookandbedandtea @Quirkybookworm I'm right on the border of Denver/ Aurora. It's overcast and still too hot but otherwise good. Are you near one of the fires? 6y
RainyDayReading Haha Too Rainy for where I am at 🤣 boy if that isn‘t accurate! 6y
Vertabrain I need this!! We‘re on the Western Slope. 💕 6y
Quirkybookworm @bookandbedandtea @Vertabrain No,not near the fires but five of my friends had to evacuate. Durango's my hometown. The fire may get as bad as the Missionary Ridge fire. 😯 They really could use the rain. I'm on the Western Slope also😊 6y
Quirkybookworm BTW who else is from Colorado? Say Aye! 6y
bookandbedandtea @RainyDayReading I liked the "too rainy" and "vampires?" notes in your area. It's funny though- you know my hubs is from there, but in all the years we've gone there to visit I've NEVER had a rainy trip. We've always had beautiful weather. ? 6y
AmyG I am moving to Vail in July. 6y
RainyDayReading @bookandbedandtea I‘m glad you‘ve always had good weather! I like it call it out unicorn weather because it‘s very elusive. Today we had a massive downpour but on Sunday it‘s going to be sunny and 80 degrees! 🙄 Hahah more like bigfoot than vampires! 6y
Vertabrain Thankfully, it looks like decent rain this weekend. We have friends evacuated in Durango also. So scary. We are in the Aspen/Snowmass Area btw! Hello to all the other Colorado peeps. @AmyG Good luck on the move! I love Vail. 6y
bookandbedandtea @Vertabrain @AmyG @Quirkybookworm I really hope we get enough rain to impact these fires. My happy place is Glenwood, which often includes side trips to Vail or Aspen. Especially the John Denver garden in Aspen...I can spend hours there! 6y
Vertabrain I read at the John Denver Sanctuary all the time. We actually just bought property outside of New Castle, and hope to move there full-time after our daughter‘s graduate from high school in a few years. Wow, it‘s a small world. I‘m new to Litsy, but it‘s fun to “meet” other people from the same area. 6y
AmyG @Vertabrain Thank you. I count the minutes until we get there. @bookandbedandtea Glenwood Springs...my husband loves going there. It‘s such a beautiful area. 6y

(Photo chosen because King is the closest to a Colorado author I have on my shelves.) Hey Littens! Are any of you in the Boulder area? I‘m heading out there soon and would love to make some new friends.

Ruri_kaichou I just went through the hashtag and saw or first meeting.... It was almost a year ago!! 😅 My time flies 7y
AmyG Wow. If I were closer to Denver I‘d be there. 7y

Bourriquet76 Thank you! @merelybookish Next time for sure, once ski season ends. :) 7y
Meeko93 Oh! I will definitely try to come! 7y
bookishkai I‘m planning on coming and bringing my partner since she‘s my chauffeur these days. However, if I end up having a bad brain day I won‘t be there (the joys of stroke brain, you can‘t really plan much) 7y
Ellebeekay Wish I could come have to work 🙂 7y
dragondrool Too bad I am not there. 7y
Bookworm83 @merelybookish Can‘t wait to catch up with you! @mrsh62010 Hope to see you, but if not, we understand...have fun at the party! @Bourriquet76 I look forward to meeting you at some point...we will try and plan another one this spring 👍🏻 @Meeko93 I hope you can make it! @bookishkris We hope to see you, but understand if you can‘t and I look forward to meeting your partner, too ❤️ @Ellebeekay Maybe next time! 7y
Bookworm83 @dragondrool I know 😩😩 You‘d love this group of women. Such awesome bookish friends! 7y
Bourriquet76 @Bookworm83 Husband is complaining about hotel prices because of MLK. If we postpone skiing, I‘ll head up. :) 7y
BeckyLeJ Hi, all! I will try to make it. How will I find you if I‘m there? 🤓 (edited) 7y
Bookworm83 @BeckyLeJ Good question! If you go to the hashtag #colitsymeetup there is a picture of all of us from last time to give you an idea of what we look like. I‘ll also bring my copy of The Secret History and leave it out on our table 😋 7y
BeckyLeJ Fab! 7y
Bookworm83 @Bourriquet76 Lol! Well, we‘d love to meet you! 7y
Bookworm83 @Meeko93 Yay!! We‘d love to meet you! 7y
