The dream - A log home in Colorado on a snowy day 

I’m from Texas.  As a girl, I always dreamed about Colorado.  I dreamed of snow.  I dreamed of log cabins.    Fast forward thirty or forty years - I find myself incredibly blessed to live in Colorado. 

 

I’ve very happy living the Front Range region – a part of Colorado that is NOT in the ski country.    We get about 300 days of sunshine per year.   It doesn’t snow very often.  Granted, I’m learning to wish for snow which seems to be viewed as the equivalent of rain in Texas.  The six inches of snow that we got last night and this morning will probably be gone within the next day or so unless the snow is a shady area.   

Log home in Elizabeth, CO after a snowAnyway, a good friend of mine in Elizabeth, Colorado has a log home.  (Elizabeth, CO  is just east of Parker and about an hour north of down town Colorado Springs and a little over an hour to Denver)   

I’ve wanted a photograph of his log home in the snow for an upcoming post that I have planned about log homes.    So, today he has graciously been trying to take photographs for me since I didn’t have time to go to his house.    He was a very good photography student over the course of the day.   First, we had to get rid of the cell phone photographs.   Then we worked on lighting and getting the “right” angle.    He wasn’t quite sure what I meant when I told that I wanted him to stand in the trees and take a picture of the front of the house.  Regardless, I was very happy with this photograph of his log home in the snow.     

Sometimes, I think people get so accustomed to seeing their home that they no longer notice its beauty.  This is especially if they  do not use the front door very often.   I hope that each of you can take the time to notice what makes your home beautiful. 

 

If you are dreaming of a log home in Colorado, call me. 

If you are dreaming of buying a log home in Colorado that is on a horse property….call me. 

If you have a log home to sell, please call me as soon as possible.  Buyers are out looking for log homes.

Just like a picture in a magazine this home is a beauty. I like the snow around the home.

Snowy cabins, particularly log homes are so serene to the mind and the snow makes them blend into nature perfectly. Remote control photography that is so funny but great picture.

Girlie, this could EASILY be a Christmas card....I LOVE LOVE LOVE this picture. The pine needles in the foreground, the fencing across the bottom, the angle of the log home (I am obsessed with log homes)--so very gorgeous with the brace of snow and the icicles delicately dancing on the roof--perfection!

You gotta take the pic and do something with it come winter, missy....keep this in your archives, it personifies Colorado.

Sondra-There must be other parts of Colorado that get more than 6" doesn't it. I could handle just 6" and it melting within a few days. We get less than that most winters and it melts too within a day. I would love a log cabin like that That is a picture perfect picture you captured there. I agree with Gayle. It would make a great Christmas card too. Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend.

Welcome to Colorado, Sondra. When I was a kid, I dreamed of living here, too. Now look at both of us. This is a great picture of a cabin in the snow.

A log home in Colorado sounds like a very good idea.  Dreaming of the good life.
