My daughter, Meredith, cautioned me that the big plastic trash bags I used to cover them over night would merely encourage condensation and then freezing but by then it was too late. Darn! Guess I will have to wait until the customary Mother’s Day weekend to replace those less than hardy annuals!
Last summer I met Carol and Randy Gorby when looking for a garden to feature in this May Home and Garden issue. Now this is a couple that takes gardening to an art form, literally and figuratively. Their beautiful patio and flower gardens are enhanced with artsy containers, southwest sculptures, and collectibles they have found along their travels. Read about their love of their Natural Oasis and of creating beauty around them right in the heart of town.
Over the past several months, I have had the pleasure of watching five exquisite homes being built at Thompson Crossing for the unique Parade of Dreams Luxury Home Tour May 17th through June 17th. Little did I know when Gary Hoover and Charlie Atwood of Hartford Homes met with Jon Ainslie and me over lunch to discuss this upcoming event, the magnitude of this development and the five custom homes. One of my favorite aspects of Thompson Crossing has become the half-mile sculpture walk featuring monument sized bronze sculptures. It is a one-of-a-kind amenity that will definitely be thoughtfully enjoyed all seasons of the year. The innovative masterpiece homes being built for the tour are state-of-the-art. Each portrays a unique personality through special attention to detail, creative design, use of artistic water features, finish materials, outdoor living spaces, luxury conveniences, furnishings and art. Waterfalls, aquariums, wine cellars, fireplaces, exquisite natural stone, hand crafted wood floors and hewn timbers, theater rooms and more will delight your senses and demonstrate the finest in design. We have been honored to work with the exceptional builders and sub-contractors of these five exquisite homes. We salute all of you, and your commitment to show the Front Range the best of the best! So, don’t miss it. It will engage you and perhaps give you just the push you need to remodel that bathroom or kitchen!
