When we moved here with our kids 21 years ago, one of the big attractions for us was that Colorado Springs is still a place where the wild things roam. I haven’t seen a bear in a while (though I have seen them, and one was just relocated from Cottonwood Creek last week!), but we [...]

I love the fall in Colorado Springs. Cooler mornings, clear crisp air, and golden aspens make this a special time of year. One of the big treats is the changing of the leaves. It is a different experience every year, and every elevation. Some years a wind storm can come and blow it all away [...] It isn’t every day that I see wildlife when I am out showing Colorado Springs homes to prospective buyers, although it is reasonably often. It is more seldom when we see deer on the east side of town (they are more prevalent on the west side). But these photos from yesterday (May 30 2009) [...] This past week I had a couple of vivid reminders that wildlife is very abundant inside the city limits of Colorado Springs.

We’ve had a couple snow events since Thanksgiving, but we are in our 2nd day above 50 this weekend, before another snow event tomorrow night.

I was able to help several families get a step closer to living in Colorado Springs last week. One of them now has a house under contract, one knows which house they probably will buy, when they get their job situation settled over the next month or so, and one knows where they want [...] #1 I need to correct a prior post on Colorado Springs cost of living items. Gas has dropped to $1.92 at the nearby local gas stations. I actually saw one station drop their prices 3 times in 24 hours this week! #2 Yesterday we had an extended briefing from John Tuccillo, former chief economist [...]
