Change State Friends,

As we enter the final stretch of 2024 (ugh, I know), November is the time we typically practice gratitude for the events of the year behind us. On the list of things you may not be grateful for? If you’re a parent of a young child (🙋), you might say “the end of daylight saving time last weekend”.

Happy National Pumpkin Month and a spooktacular Halloween to all those who celebrate! 🎃 One fun fact about a rather polarizing seasonal item: did you know candy corn used to be called “chicken feed”, and was originally available year-round? 🐔 Check the link for more interesting tidbits on the world’s most divisive candy.

Greetings from September! As sunny summer days fade into the rearview, for autumn enthusiasts, it’s time to embrace the changing leaves and cooler breezes.

​It’s August, so back to school we go! As we bid farewell to lazy summer days, it’s time to dust off the backpacks, sharpen the pencils, and dive into new adventures.

Are you staying cool this July? Heatwaves have been blasting the US this past couple of weeks, including here in Denver.

Welcome to summer! Do you have exciting travel plans, or are you staying closer to home this year? With a new puppy in our household, we’re a bit limited on activities far from home – at least for the next month or so.

A Happy May to you all, and I hope spring has brought you something to celebrate – be it Mother’s Day, warmer weather, outdoor exercise, or a rare dual cicada emergence? Our family has something sweet to celebrate this coming weekend – we’re finally welcoming a new puppy to the family after losing a very special dog this time last year.

Welcome to April!

Did you watch the eclipse yesterday? And, if you weren’t in the path of the totality, did you celebrate with one of these bizarre eclipse-themed foods? If these spectacular celestial events have given you a renewed sense of connection to nature – remember it’s Earth Day this coming April 22nd: get out there and enjoy the natural world and plant some plants, if you have the space to do so.

Welcome to March!

Has this month entered more like a lion, or more like a lamb where you are? As a huge snowstorm looms here in Denver, it seems March has been defined by severe weather and odd climate events just about everywhere (“Tumblemaggedon”, anyone)? As we roll into spring towards the end of this month I hope you get a glimmer of sunnier and more pleasant days ahead.

Change State Friends,

Happy February!

We are now exactly halfway through winter, and depending on how much you like the cold and wet weather, February is either your winter playground or … you’re just really over it by now.
