Moving to Colorado was probably the hardest yet best decisions of our lives. It was not easy to just pack up 30 years of memories and move across the country to a brand new life. So many decisions had to be made the first being where to live. It was easy to fall in love with the majestic beauty of this place.
"Little Red Cabin"
We were so fortunate to be able to find a small cabin in a precious community in the mountains outside the Denver metro area. After several months of searching and the moment we drove into the yard it "just felt right". The house faces the western slope of the Rockies and the view alone was enough to make us fall in love with the house. But after spending one night we knew this was where we were supposed to be! The cabin itself has so much character. Wooden hand hewed beams, slate floors, and knotty pine were just a few of the elements that drew us to this house.
"Wind Chimes"
The first night in the cabin was so surreal. As we drifted off to sleep in the cool darkness the night air wafted in the open window causing me to reach for the quilt in August as a sound wandered through the open windows that was almost magical. Our neighbors had a wind chime that softly played music as the breeze gently rocked the trees. The music from the chimes seemed to be playing us a “Welcome Home” song! It just felt like we were supposed to be here!
“Train Whistles”
Train whistles may not seem like a big deal to most folks, but to us they are a welcomed song! We had no idea we were close enough to a railroad track to hear the train until the first night we spent the night in the cabin. The wind chimes were playing their melody and softly in the background we heard the train coming through the canyon. To say it was an amazing experience is putting it lightly. It brought such strange feelings: comfort, longing, mystery?
