Hallowe'en

I took Brett's suggestion this year and dressed up as Sideshow Bob from the Simpsons.


I used red hair spray to color my hair, but with that and regular hair spray, I wasn't able to make my hair stand up!

I opted for the Cape Fear version, because that's one of my favorite Simpsons episodes.

First Snowfall

Tuesday morning was a typical fall morning:


After the season's first snowfall, Wednesday morning looked like this:


The snow was really wet, which weighed down the trees:



Every tree looked like a weeping willow, and there were branches of all sizes on the ground.

This morning, I took this picture of the Flatirons on my way into work:


Today's sun melted most of the snow from the trees and roads.

Last Week+

At trivia two weeks ago, we finally had our full team back together (L to R, Ann, Trevor, Tara, me, Cora), but we just missed out on placing.



A week and a half ago, I had an angle-wing katydid land on my office window!


I think it was the first time I'd seen one since I blogged about the one I saw back in 2008: http://jeffonthenet.blogspot.com/2008/09/angle-wing-katydid.html

We came in third in trivia this week, breaking our drought. Pictured (L to R) are Ann, Trevor, me, and Tara:


This weekend, the weather was perfect. I had coffee with Sara and Rich at Bittersweet Saturday morning:


While drinking our coffee, we were treated to a B-17 flying overhead:


The enjoyed the weather even more once I found out it is supposed to snow this Wednesday!

Parents' Visit

My parents visited me over the Columbus Day weekend. They were in Albuquerque for the hot air balloon festival, and stopped by Boulder on their way home.

Now I'll try to show pictures from both my phone and my camera (the iPhone picture doesn't size properly, so you have to click on it to see the whole thing). My Dad and I went golfing on Monday:



Here's my Mom, working on her computer:


She kicked off my Halloween decorations by buying me this funny little pumpkin!
