City Mouse, Country Mouse

I made my move last weekend to Montrose. I love it here! My house is a lovely little place on 3 acres. The boys are getting used to having so much space, and I am getting used to not checking on them every 3 minutes to make sure they haven't wandered where they shouldn't! Montrose is a super cute town. I went to the farmer's market yesterday and then wandered around the downtown area. Today I drove to Ridgeway and did some shopping. Ridgeway is a darling little community-great shops, a beautiful town park, and the Ridgeway State Park is close by, complete with a beautiful reservoir. The people are very friendly and gave me lots of ideas as to what things I need to check out in the area-the hot springs, especially, both in Ridgeway and Ouray. I didn't go as far as Ouray because I got a late start-I will save it for another adventure day. I am now at Starbucks to check Internet and then I will go home and take the boys for a nice walk. Tom and Nancy come through town tomorrow on their way to Redstone, and we are going to have lunch. It is always good to see familiar faces in a new place!

Here are pictures of the house, the land, our views, and a happy me on the front porch!

There are some amazing sunrises around here and I have a front row view!

Our farmer's market and downtown are small but cute!

This has been a welcome change for me. Of course I miss the big city and friends and family...but I am enjoying having a new little life in a town I really do love. So far this city mouse isn't complaining about moving to the country!
