I think my friend, Patty, has not been out and around much. Rather think she might be a city girl deep inside. Early in the spring I took her for a ride out to Avondale to meet Sister Nancy and she was fascinated with the gardens and and countryside in general. I thought if she liked the ride East she would really get a kick out of the ride to Beulah.
So I gathered her up and off we went to The Stompin' Grounds coffee shop ran by my friend Jan. I usually have soap and lotions for sale up there along with my book. I do like to rotate my stock and since I had not been up since the Spring, off we went.

While we were in there a herd of deer trotted across the street toward the coffee shop and went out back to have a little snack on the neighbors lilac bushes. I snuck up on them, because that is what I do!
And when I was through wondering just how I would go about butchering one of these things, I decided to sing the song she had painted on the door to her garden shed!
Coffee cup drained and our goodbye's said, it was off to one of my favorite places when I go to the mountains...an old cemetery. I have an insatiable appetite for tromping around in one of those places. When I first came to Colorado, Charlie took me to a ghost town up around the old LaVeta Pass. I want to go back there some day, but in the meantime, I make do with the ones at the lower altitudes.
I hope you are enjoying the little slide show, because I sure enjoyed making it. And so Patty and I, a couple frustrated but laid back hippie's bid you a fond farewell from beautiful Beulah, Colorado. I am sure we will return here again and again. I am sure of one thing and that is The Stompin' Grounds in Beulah is both a hippie haven and a damn good place to get coffee on a cold winter day!
