Shop Local This Season With S+B's 2025 Holiday Gift Guide - ENSTROM CANDIES In 1960, Enstrom Candies began in a small Colorado candy kitchen, where Chet Enstrom perfected his Almond Toffee recipe. Today, that same handcrafted tradition has grown into a beloved name in gifting, known for quality, family heritage and sharing joy. Every batch of the Traditional Almond Toffee is still handmade with simple, premium ingredients, Grade A butter, pure cane sugar, roasted almonds and a generous layer of milk or dark chocolate. But over the years, it’s become apparent that the real magic isn’t just in the candy, it’s in the people who share it. This collection goes far beyond toffee. From hand-dipped chocolates to buttery toffee popcorn, every piece is crafted with care and a touch of holiday cheer. This season, share a little sweetness, and a little merrymaking, at enstrom.com. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/ec95c2ab-0b4f-4147-9dd8-ea6192986845/The+Ordinary+Fellow-Spoke+and+Blossom+vertical-5products-HD.png Stories - Shop Local This Season With S+B's 2025 Holiday Gift Guide - THE ORDINARY FELLOW Make this holiday special with a gift that’s perfect under the tree and on the table — a membership to The Ordinary Fellow Wine Club in Palisade, Colorado.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. 2. Grease and flour a round cake pan. 3. Combine zucchini and other wet ingredients into a bowl. Sift together flour, baking powder, soda, salt and cinnamon. Stir in dry ingredients a little at a time to the wet ingredients. Stir in the walnuts and the raisins. 4. Bake for 40 minutes. There can be a few crumbs on a knife or toothpick, but not too many. 5. Cool completely before frosting. FOR THE ICING 4 oz cream cheese 4 cups powdered sugar 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts for the sides 1. Whip softened cream until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar. If you like stiffer frosting, add more powdered sugar until it is the consistency you prefer. I prefer mine kind of thin, more like an icing and less like a frosting. 2. Do not frost the cake until it is completely cooled. Press walnuts to the sides for decoration and/or to hide any frosting mistakes you made by trying to frost the cake too soon. 3. Store leftovers in the fridge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/e4d32a5a-6466-47fc-875f-ca01a0f68720/DSCF3755.jpeg Stories - Summer Recipes: How To Celebrate Too Much Zucchini - SCALLOPED POTATOES AND ZUCCHINI SERVES 6 4 large potatoes 3 medium zucchinis 1 medium onion 1 tsp salt for the zucchini 1/4 tsp each of garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper and additional salt 1 1/2 cups milk 2 Tbsp flour 1 pound cooked shredded chicken (optional) 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or more if you like) 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. 2. Grease the bottom of your casserole dish. 3. Slice the onion, zucchini and potatoes into approximately 1/4-inch thick slices. 4. In a bowl, use the 1 tsp salt and sprinkle all over the zucchini. Toss to coat the zucchini. Let it sit about an hour or two to draw out the liquid from the zucchini. Drain and gently press out the remaining liquid. Pat the zucchini dry with paper towels. 5. Beginning with potatoes, layer the potatoes, onion, zucchini, optional chicken and cheese. 6. In a bowl, whisk the milk, flour and other spices. Pour over the layers. Sprinkle more cheese on top. 7. Cover with foil and bake 45 minutes. 8.

Then in the 1960s, a big motion picture came out called Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford, this iconic Western film features the titular outlaws at the height of their criminal career, including the train robberies they committed that were filmed along the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. Plus, the famous scene where Cassidy and Sundance Kid leap into a river was shot near Bakers Bridge along the Animas River between Durango and Telluride. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (Disney/20th Century Fox) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/6ecbfe0e-addb-4df0-887d-648eb006e85e/Scrapple+still+by+Mountainfilm+%28Sweetwater+Productions%29.jpg Stories - On Set in Telluride: Movies Shot in One of Colorado’s Most Famous Towns - Scrapple (1998) Following the success of Dazed and Confused, a new generation of stoner movies came out that dominated the 90s and early 2000s. Scrapple is a lesser known entry into this genre, which is about the intertwined lives of ski bums in the fictional town of Ajax. But if one looks closely, a few notable Telluride landmarks become visible. The New Sheridan Bar, for example, appears as a location where the main characters frequently meet up. Also, there’s a couple of scenes filmed on the winding roads near Gateway. Scrapple (Christopher Hanson/Sweetwater Productions) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/6df5c3bc-7df0-42db-822f-77dfda444179/The+Prestige+still+by+Photofest+%28Newmarket%29-1.jpg Stories - On Set in Telluride: Movies Shot in One of Colorado’s Most Famous Towns - The Prestige (2006) Considered a unique arthouse film, The Prestige tells the story of two Victorian Era stage magicians named Angier and Borden played respectively by Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale. The two become rivals following a tragic accident with Borden outperforming Angier. So, Angier travels to Colorado Springs to seek out the inventor Nikola Tesla and learns the secret of Borden’s latest trick. In actuality, this sequence was shot by the Bridal Veil Falls and at Redstone Castle, a famous Victorian mansion south of Telluride that’s been converted into a hotel.

Directed by Lawrence Kasdan, who also did The Big Chill, this charming film is about a middle-aged couple (played by Keaton and Kline) who adopt a stray dog. Then while attending a wedding in the Rockies, the dog goes missing, and the two stay to look for him. While the movie doesn’t specify where the wedding is, there are landscape shots showing Telluride itself and the surrounding San Juan Mountains.

Set in Wyoming sometime after the Civil War, the movie follows two bounty hunters trapped in a log cabin during a blizzard with several strangers. As people start turning up dead, it’s revealed that not everyone is who they claim to be. Surprisingly, most of the film was shot at the Schmid Ranch on Wilson Mesa near Telluride, which has been in operation since the 1880s with rental cabins and hunting packages available.

One of these stories, “All Gold Canyon,” was filmed in Colorado. Particularly the Telluride Valley and Piney River Ranch near Vail, which were combined to create the mountainous location of this story where a prospector comes looking for gold but finds trouble instead.

To bloom requires time in the dark, introspection and quiet, but with a deep sense of knowing that something magical is about to happen, a reward for shedding the old. With each emerging bloom, expansion pushes forwards, and facing the sun, a new layer is discovered. This one, undoubtedly, more vibrant than the last! All of us are either blooming or wilting.

Winter’s lull is tempered with the worry of moisture and the risk of freezes. The excitement of those first timid blooms promising renewal, the unfurling of green, the feel of the world awakening. I love walking the vineyard this time of year.

These “star trails” are a composite of multiple photographs of the sky taken in succession and later blended together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/a9b8675a-64fc-4ef2-94ac-591c736e708f/SB+Pink+Moon+at+the+Monument.jpg Stories - Western Colorado Landscapes At Night - Make it stand out Pink Moon at the Monument Cars traverse a series of switchbacks to reach the top of the Colorado National Monument, illuminating the surrounding landscape with their headlights. The full moon hovers over the horizon, casting a soft pink glow across the rocks. The Monument is at its best in the evening or at night — the chorus of desert insects in the summer and quiet hoofbeats of the bighorn sheep create a lovely atmosphere for reflection and relaxation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/3fb54cbe-de14-4e05-a79e-b70b9fa02be5/SB+Red+Light+Trail.jpg Stories - Western Colorado Landscapes At Night - Make it stand out Red Light Trail Another light trail photo at the Colorado National Monument, this one made by a single passing truck whose lights are bright enough to paint the nearby rocks red. The 60 moon hangs high in the sky, casting a silvery light down on the juniper trees and rocks further from the road. A few of the brightest stars speckle the midnight blue sky in between the clouds. https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2025/2/17/take-a-hike-devils-garden-primitive-loop-trail monthly 0.5 2025-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/4b56281d-89eb-4670-9104-3dbd15306829/IMG_7912.jpg Stories - Take A Hike: Devil's Garden + Primitive Loop Trail - Make it stand out Photos by Melanie Wiseman https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1739475701564-ZIHI8ATCF4Y0NUMJDVSB/IMG_7943.jpg Stories - Take A Hike: Devil's Garden + Primitive Loop Trail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1739475710475-ULO0E8C8FOOCSNII22YL/IMG_7902.jpg Stories - Take A Hike: Devil's Garden + Primitive Loop Trail https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2025/2/11/how-local-maker-carolyn-huresky-is-emphasizing-colorados-natural-beauty-outdoor-culture monthly 0.5 2025-02-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/5462bfc5-aa91-4482-8d53-a87653fc58c8/Carolyn+Huresky+headshot.png Stories - How Local Maker Carolyn Huresky Is Emphasizing Colorado's Natural Beauty + Outdoor Culture - Make it stand out Carolyn Huresky https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2025/2/7/western-colorado-locals-weigh-in-on-continuity monthly 0.5 2025-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/544e9be0-185c-49bd-8cfc-794dec9ac1e7/IMG_1913+grey.jpg Stories - Western Colorado Locals Weigh In On Continuity - STEPHANIE GWINN Catering Director + Owner of Hillbilly Catering & Events “Food has always served as a catalyst for community building. Continuity sustains our efforts, holds our memories and encourages growth and meaning that span generations. When considering continuity, I think of the flow of progress formed from personal links between new experiences and memories of previous ones. Each seemingly unconnected event builds upon the last. The desire to always provide meaning, value and invention while catering special events is what propels us to the next level and keeps our community engaged, inspired and hungry for more.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/eef06060-fe08-4864-8177-005fc57cce0a/Julie+Bennett+grey.jpg Stories - Western Colorado Locals Weigh In On Continuity - JULIE BENNETT Founder of Qutori Wines “Continuity means to me creating a business and sense of place here in Paonia for my family and friends through Qutori Wines, LLC and Root and Vine Market. Qutori means creativity and leadership and that is how we see our role in the Grand Valley. As founders of our winery, we are inspired by the guests and people who live to create great wine and share it.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/0779c532-47b5-447f-9713-58f266f1735c/Lance+Williams.png Stories - Western Colorado Locals Weigh In On Continuity - L.E. WILLIAMS Local Artist “Consistent quality time in my studio has been fundamental for me this year. The hours spent exploring concepts and painting flows by like the river; its constant motion rejuvenated by the accrual of fresh water. These vital confluences of growth are accessible only by staying the course through flops and fruition. Although it can be difficult to maintain, I think turning this steady pace into healthy habits is critical to reach full potential. It takes continuous focus, practice and patience. As with my artistic process, our community must devote time and energy to understand its flow and better shape its future. Come meet me by the river. See how time, it flows.” https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2025/2/7/your-guide-to-the-2025-holistic-trade-show-in-grand-junction monthly 0.5 2025-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1c873cb3-c360-4db7-b921-facb5ca712a8/hts-logo.jpg Stories -

In an industry often overcast by accolade and ego, it is important to remember the root of which we sprout. Providing nourishment as a distillation between farmers and consumers. Presenting a bite that echoes a fond memory in one’s past. Offering our time, expertise, passion and attention to detail that allow the calculated conclusion of a dining experience. Giving knows no boundary. From charitably providing meals for the less fortunate, to artistically encapsulating a diner in your culinary adventure. Giving is sacrifice, without expected reciprocation.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/5199f613-648f-4323-b55d-a197d3cfaf6a/IMG_7368+grey.jpg Stories - Voices Of Western Colorado: Locals Weigh In On Giving - EMILY ST RUTH: Owner/Operator of Kebler Corner “I am always amazed at how far (and how near) people travel to revel in the beauty and nature of the North Fork Valley and Kebler Pass. We love partnering with local schools and organizations to help youth foster a deeper connection with nature. But this year, giving has taken on a new meaning for us. We have endured some personal hardships and health struggles — as everyone does at some point. During this time, we have observed how our Western Slope community exemplifies giving in the most genuine ways. This is a place where people bring you a meal, call you daily to check on you or take the kids for a few days so you can rest. True giving comes from the heart and we are grateful to have had the opportunity to be on the receiving end of the love and support.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/cf22180b-c380-4602-b8b0-349343abbd43/Dave+Fishell.jpg Stories - Voices Of Western Colorado: Locals Weigh In On Giving - DAVE FISHELL: Local Historian Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.“A small group of third graders crowded into the replica bedroom of the 1830s-era Fort Uncompahgre blacksmith’s home, near today’s Delta, Colorado. ‘Who’s heard the phrase “sleep tight”?’ I asked. Hands went up. ‘Who knows where it came from?’ Few did. I had volunteers lift the buffalo robe, blankets and straw-filled mattress. ‘What’s at the bottom?’ I asked. ‘Rope!’ they yelled out. ‘That’s right,’ I yelled back. ‘For centuries, beds had rope foundations. When they loosened, you’d tighten the knots so the rope didn’t sag—then you were sleeping tight.’ As the class left, one girl giggled, ‘I never knew that.’ ‘That’s what we are here for,’ I replied. ‘And there is a lot more interesting history to give you.’” https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2024/10/30/gear-up-sustainably-how-used-outdoor-gear-stores-are-making-adventure-affordable-eco-friendly monthly 0.5 2024-11-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/24fbbd40-7b11-4dd3-b62b-401663a06ab6/Durango+Outdoor+Exchange+at+3677+Main+Ave.%2C+Durango.jpg Stories - Gear Up Sustainably: How Used Outdoor Gear Stores Are Making Adventure Affordable + Eco-Friendly - Make it stand out Durango Outdoor Exchange at 3677 Main Ave https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/86d42e1a-cafb-4bf3-b1b2-061824bd400e/Owners+Cole+Hanson+and+Jacob+Thaden+of+The+Gear+Junction+at+436+Main+Street%2C+Grand+Junction.jpg Stories - Gear Up Sustainably: How Used Outdoor Gear Stores Are Making Adventure Affordable + Eco-Friendly - Make it stand out Owners Cole Hanson and Jacob Thaden of The Gear Junction at 436 Main St., Grand Junction. https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2024/10/28/safe-accurate-fair-elections-colorado-nationally-considered-a-gold-standard monthly 0.5 2024-10-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/b60f8131-07e4-4b0a-ab73-cfa4d35bcf49/Photo+by+Sharon+Sullivan+-+%28Mesa+County+Clerk+and+Recorder+Bobbie+Gross%2C+Brandi+Bantz+Election+Division+Director%2C+Terry+Porter+Election+judge.jpeg Stories - Safe, Accurate, Fair Elections: Colorado Nationally Considered A 'Gold Standard' - Make it stand out Left to right: Bobbie Gross, Mesa County Clerk and Recorder; Brandi Bantz, election division director; Terry Porter, election judge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/c4ac2cda-e613-4880-8651-98dac14aac23/Tressa+Official+Clerk+Composite+-+courtesy+of+Tressa+Guynes.JPG Stories - Safe, Accurate, Fair Elections: Colorado Nationally Considered A 'Gold Standard' - Make it stand out Montrose County Clerk and Recorder Tressa Guynes https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2024/10/23/da-de-muertos-day-of-the-dead monthly 0.5 2024-10-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1729185672258-3XNMBSGI21ZEZ4QNF53O/SarahOverbeck2021.jpg Stories - Día De Muertos — Day Of The Dead https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1729185672205-T64GDA40JYAM9SC2THI4/SarahOverbeck2021-3.jpg Stories - Día De Muertos — Day Of The Dead https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1729185678456-35DWSCZNWC9JYU7E8MPV/SarahOverbeck2021-2.jpg Stories - Día De Muertos — Day Of The Dead https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1729185675841-806GVKDKKU5MUIKF1WH6/SarahOverbeck2021-1.jpg Stories - Día De Muertos — Day Of The Dead https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1729185836855-G1TT9FSWUC9BWAWLUGFQ/SarahOverbeck2022-8.jpg Stories - Día De Muertos — Day Of The Dead https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1729185838914-OI9YQLWCP1SM14XWY0EN/SarahOverbeck2022-5.jpg Stories - Día De Muertos — Day Of The Dead https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1729185842922-1FM6HLAQFFUXRPDQFIVS/SarahOverbeck2022-2.jpg Stories - Día De Muertos — Day Of The Dead https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1729185843742-OYTD5TEWZQEILG6ND4CO/SarahOverbeck2022-1.jpg Stories - Día De Muertos — Day Of The Dead https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1729185838978-OYM5VZH7KIFO2LOXIFZA/SarahOverbeck2022-3.jpg Stories - Día De Muertos — Day Of The Dead https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1729185836788-04BKW7W0YDWJ1TJ05ZL0/SarahOverbeck2022-7.jpg Stories - Día De Muertos — Day Of The Dead https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2024/10/24/gear-hub-newage-pvc-slatwall-for-gear-tool-organization monthly 0.5 2024-10-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/eb1ae89d-dbd7-4f11-899c-678e2e9ee167/Screenshot+%28385%29.png Stories - Gear Hub: NewAge PVC Slatwall For Gear + Tool Organization - Make it stand out Photos by Kim Fuller https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/4aee83a6-5193-46fa-869e-fa3817cf9589/Screenshot+%28384%29.png Stories - Gear Hub: NewAge PVC Slatwall For Gear + Tool Organization - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1729788651322-1BJCKFH331P41VIM7333/PVC+Slatwall%281%29.jpg Stories - Gear Hub: NewAge PVC Slatwall For Gear + Tool Organization - Make it stand out A look at what’s possible with the NewAge PVC Slatwall paired with the Sports Slatwall Hook Kit.

An Autumnal Twist On A Classic Cocktail: Apple Primm's Royal - APPLE PIMM’S ROYALE Yield: 1 cocktail 2 oz Pimm’s No. 1 1 oz fresh apple juice (look for Osito Farms’ “Pure Gold” organic apple juice) ¾ oz ginger-honey syrup (see below) ½ oz freshly squeezed lemon juice 3 oz dry sparkling wine (I used “The NFV” by The Storm Cellar) GARNISHES Cucumber ribbon Apple slices Pomegranate seeds Citrus wheels Seasonal herbs (mint, thyme, rosemary, shiso or lemon balm) 1. In a mixing tin, combine all of the ingredients, except for the sparkling wine. 2. Add a handful of ice, shake well and strain into an ice-filled wine or cocktail glass. 3. Top with sparkling wine and garnish with creative abandon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/6c08c203-51d8-4574-9bca-9d547b1e2116/Fall+Cocktail_Henderson_01.jpg Stories - An Autumnal Twist On A Classic Cocktail: Apple Primm's Royal - GINGER-HONEY SYRUP 1 cup local honey 1 cup water 1 cup peeled, coarsely chopped fresh ginger In a small saucepan, combine all three ingredients. Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a low boil and simmer for five to seven minutes, letting the heat soften the ginger and infuse the honey syrup. Remove from heat and let completely cool to room temperature. Strain the solids through a fine-mesh strainer and store the ginger-honey syrup in the fridge for up to two weeks. This recipe yields a little under two cups of syrup. Use any leftover syrup on pancakes, in stir-fry dishes or in drinks that would benefit from a spicy kick. https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2024/9/12/the-debut-of-the-asteria-cmus-new-theater-is-a-big-deal monthly 0.5 2024-09-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/5ceecc72-1b1d-404f-9503-45a3b4f426f6/Asteria+at+Night.jpg Stories -

Grand Mesa North — Colorado's Hardest Road Bike Climbs - NOTES FROM THE SADDLE From Nate Buyon, Golden, Colorado-based cyclist “This lightly-trafficked climb — in car density and relative popularity for cyclists — offers a sizable test for all inclined to embark on the task. The road to the top of the Grand Mesa is paved with a lot of sweat, gear-mashing and a bit of cursing. This nearly 20-mile-long ascent boasting an elevation change of over 5,000 feet puts you at just shy of a total elevation of 11,000 feet above sea level. Outside of Pikes Peak and Mount Blue Sky, there are very few roads that offer such a continuous elevation rise. With a lower starting elevation, the Grand Mesa offers a great spring test of fitness or a late push in fall, while the two paved 14ers have a much narrower window of when the elements are less of an issue. The steady gradient of this climb, around 5%, allows you to be able to settle into a rhythm as you ascend above Powderhorn Mountain Resort. When it comes time to flip it around, you will want to ensure you are well hydrated and fueled because, although not technical, the road surface to the town of Mesa is less than ideal, with some major potholes and road payment changes. Maintaining your focus is essential as you will be continuously descending for some time. I completed this test in two hours with an average heart rate of 144 bpm. There is no place to hide going up, but overall, this can be an enjoyable journey if you have good fitness. However, if you have been slacking, this will make for a long day out.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/a86b364b-0274-4595-85e5-f83059d4da85/IMG_0648.jpg Stories - Grand Mesa North — Colorado's Hardest Road Bike Climbs - COLORADO’S THREE HARDEST CYCLING CLIMBS Pikes Peak FIETS: 17.8 Rankings: 1 (CO), 4 (USA), 38 (WORLD) Mount Blue Sky FIETS: 12.5 Rankings: 2 (CO), 10 (USA), 153 (WORLD) Grand Mesa North FIETS: 11.1 Rankings: 3 (CO), 24 (USA), 245 (WORLD) THE FIETS INDEX FORMULA H2/(10*D) + [(T-1000)/1000]* H = ending elevation minus starting elevation in meters D = total distance traveled in meters T = peak elevation in meters *Note: Only add (T-1000)/1000 when T is greater than 1000.

It’s the intensity of a chef’s culinary vision, the passion fueling our creativity and the drive pushing us to innovate. Energy in the kitchen is the relentless pursuit of perfection, the sizzle of ingredients and the rhythm of a well-coordinated team. It’s the ability to transform raw elements into exquisite dishes, leaving a lasting impression on palates and hearts alike. In essence, energy for a chef is the secret ingredient that elevates a meal from mere sustenance to a memorable experience.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/29136ab2-27e7-466e-97bb-072af319b98d/Kate+Jones+grey.jpg Stories - Voices Of Western Colorado On ENERGY - KATE JONES Programming Director of The Wright Opera House in Ouray “Energy is a force and a feeling, drawing from our environments to propel us forward. In the Western Slope, energy comes from the beauty in our surroundings, the force of our formidable mountains, the strength of our resilient people and their complex history, and from some things unknown and indescribable. Yes, the Wright Opera House is haunted, for those who are wondering! After all, energy can neither be created nor destroyed. All of these elements work together to drive us onward into an uncharted and exciting future. Can you feel it?” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/af9e1278-5ba9-4f7b-892a-a57a0f647065/image0+grey.jpg Stories - Voices Of Western Colorado On ENERGY - ANNIE AMRICH Owner of Janniebird Farm in Gunnison “It’s not just about the physical exertion required to tend the fields under the intense mountain sun or the gusty winds of our high-altitude climate. Energy also encompasses the emotional investment required to create beauty from the earth. I witness energy in the seeds bursting forth from the soil, in the sun powering photosynthesis, transforming light into life and in the vibrant hues of the blooms. Energy is the constant cycle of growth and renewal, from planting seeds to harvesting f lowers. Energy is the feeling of the community coming together to celebrate the abundance produced by the flower field. In essence, as a flower farmer, energy isn’t just a concept — it’s the very essence of my livelihood, infusing every aspect of my work with vitality and purpose.” https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2024/6/7/fruitas-imondi-wake-zone-to-host-the-colorado-state-wakesports-championships monthly 0.5 2024-06-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/ff21b29a-3e0b-4dd5-b623-d3f7973a0b31/50249567271_ce74445885_o+%281%29.jpg Stories - Fruita’s Imondi Wake Zone To Host The Colorado State Wakesports Championships - Make it stand out Photos courtesy of Grand Junction Sports Commission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/bd9fc082-97d2-4064-a7dd-92e2e65f0c41/50248922443_f9e503d6fa_o+%281%29.jpg Stories - Fruita’s Imondi Wake Zone To Host The Colorado State Wakesports Championships - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2024/6/5/gear-hub-keter-java-230-gallon-deck-box monthly 0.5 2024-08-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/5178cc5b-07a1-4094-8af5-9463ee4f6753/Screenshot+%28295%29.png Stories - Gear Hub: Keter Java 230 Gallon Deck Box - Make it stand out Setting up the Keter Java 230 Gallon Deck Box. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/2d561226-0d9b-42bf-a80c-3abbcc0a8491/Screenshot+%28294%29.png Stories - Gear Hub: Keter Java 230 Gallon Deck Box - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2024/5/30/experience-adventure-guide-for-summer-2024 monthly 0.5 2024-06-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/5b83265e-b51f-4427-8207-1ec83ccbdd37/3DAAFD9F-B72F-4B26-BC78-1D7E20A2E4D1IMG_7704.jpg Stories - Adventure + Experience Guide For Summer 2024 - GRAND VALLEY CLIMBING GYM Enjoy climbing for beginners, experts and everyone between!

No water is available, so bring plenty. Plan on packing out your trash. Shade is scarce so lather up or cover up, and visit The Wedge area in the spring or fall. Plenty of primitive and dispersed camping is available, giving you time to explore leisurely. Pack a Utah Gazetteer, San Rafael Swell map or use a reliable phone app like All Trails. https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2024/5/14/rafting-the-san-juan-river-in-utah monthly 0.5 2024-05-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/45be7dee-aa9b-4408-9863-c1fa6f15a697/IMG_9322.jpeg Stories - Rafting The San Juan River In Utah - Make it stand out Photos by Melanie Wiseman https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/9fd523f2-d2c5-47a2-859d-2f99d1305342/IMG_3884.jpg Stories - Rafting The San Juan River In Utah - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/our-favorite-instagram-pages-spring-2024 monthly 0.5 2024-08-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/164e37a5-b823-46a4-82c1-efe9f4f9ab1e/emogoatmom+-+credit+Paige+Southwood+%28IG+%40heypaige%29.png Stories - Our Favorite Instagrams + Podcasts For Spring 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/8731cfff-ed42-4542-9452-c8c056745054/Screenshot+%28293%29.png Stories - Our Favorite Instagrams + Podcasts For Spring 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/33ea770e-89f3-47f1-99b7-da4bfa322364/image4.jpeg Stories - Our Favorite Instagrams + Podcasts For Spring 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/0ff6e8fc-0563-4a67-b138-67f5017da055/The+Uplifters+Podcast.jpeg Stories - Our Favorite Instagrams + Podcasts For Spring 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/a269acd4-68e8-434a-b3a2-05faf64f2134/What%E2%80%99s+The+Recipe+Podcast.jpg Stories - Our Favorite Instagrams + Podcasts For Spring 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/b3de6e02-2069-4fe0-9c5b-789e81bfb299/The+Psychology+of+your+20s.jpeg Stories - Our Favorite Instagrams + Podcasts For Spring 2024 https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2024/5/9/spring-cocktail-chamomile-paloma monthly 0.5 2024-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/2aa7943b-9105-4e1a-9667-facba38f3035/Paloma_Henderson_01.jpg Stories - Spring Cocktail Recipe — Chamomile Paloma - CHAMOMILE PALOMA 2 oz blanco tequila (I used Doña Loca Organic Tequila Blanco) 2 oz freshly-squeezed grapefruit juice 3/4 oz freshly-squeezed lime juice 1/2 oz chamomile simple syrup (see notes) Sparkling water, to taste Grapefruit wedge, for garnish Grapefruit salt, for garnish (see notes) 1.

The perfect match for Koda would be a single person or couple looking for a loyal dog to take on adventures and cuddle up with at the end of a long day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1a81ffc7-2a15-491c-89d3-58e30f655f1a/IMG_8821.jpg Stories - Happy Little Rescue — Leaving Paw Prints On The Hearts Of Grand Valley Residents - CONSTANCE Constance is an incredibly sweet, 2-year-old Rottweiler mix with a lot of energy!

Rather than be taken for euthanization, they were brought to the Happy Little Rescue for a second chance at finding their perfect home. Both Miso and Tofu are extremely social so they need to either be adopted together or go to a home with other animals. The way to their heart is with some fresh cut apples! https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2024/2/27/move-it-or-lose-it-3-seniors-share-their-path-of-wellness-vitality monthly 0.5 2024-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/2e4ec62a-7b3b-43be-b150-4d939de6e252/Sandy+FullerD.jpg Stories - Move It Or Lose It: 3 Seniors Share Their Path Of Wellness + Vitality - Make it stand out The author at Mt.

At The Cycle Effect, I help girls traditionally underrepresented in outdoor spaces courageously take that first vital pedal stroke. Once in motion, momentum carries them forward and inspires other folks in our communities to jump on bikes, hit the trails and begin. Seeing the joy on an athlete’s face as she experiences the thrill of gravity carrying her downhill, I recognize the barriers, time and effort she overcame to reach this point. Momentum is earned, and I take immense pride in helping young women find belonging on the trail.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/4d3fbe4a-74d1-466c-8606-e9daaa301e35/Mike+and+Suzanne.jpg Stories - Western Slope Locals Weigh In On MOMENTUM - SUZANNE TRIPP + MIKE YENGLING — Bross Hotel Bed & Breakfast Innkeepers “Since 1906, the Bross Hotel has always been forward-looking: from hosting the business travelers of the day — largely agricultural and mining interests — to having the first telephone in the town of Paonia, its present role at the intersection of outdoor recreation, the arts, and the fruit and wine industries captures an arc of more than a century of growth and development in Colorado’s North Fork Valley. In an age of technological connectedness but individual isolation, the Bross continues to evolve while remaining grounded as a hub of conviviality and respite for travelers from diverse walks of life.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/3dcd1325-1e0d-4c5a-862d-de9a1e118084/Derek+Redd.jpeg Stories - Western Slope Locals Weigh In On MOMENTUM - DEREK REDd — Founder of Gili Gear Bags “Momentum is a positive force, but only if moving in the right direction at the right pace. That means gaining speed while maintaining focus; using acceleration to push beyond boundaries — free of distractions. While challenging, I believe that work/life balance is critical to the successful harnessing of that momentum, particularly in business. Growing Gili Gear is only worthwhile if the momentum required to get it there also affords me time to enjoy the journey, to be present in each moment, wherever I am and whomever I’m with … to linger longer and ride the momentum that life’s waves churn up along the way.” https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2024/2/28/who-we-are-ira-creasman monthly 0.5 2024-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/e455c489-b1ca-41e5-a62f-74d67e8acd19/IMG_0795.JPG Stories - Who We Are: Ira Creasman - Make it stand out Photo by Barbara Creasman https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/our-favorite-instagram-pages-winter-2023-24 monthly 0.5 2024-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/2f82e19a-2566-43e2-9ae7-8261013476f2/Pepi.jpg Stories - Our Favorite Instagrams + Podcasts For Winter 2023-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/355dabc5-ff1e-4826-a82c-a811e763e9bd/Untitled+design+-+2024-03-02T121847.443.png Stories - Our Favorite Instagrams + Podcasts For Winter 2023-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/694b297e-efd8-4d82-a351-bae1e1174c1a/229783684_5860523517352749_1439582313879882699_n.jpg Stories - Our Favorite Instagrams + Podcasts For Winter 2023-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/3543243c-4679-420a-a9a2-fed580e5013f/Morbid+Podcast.jpeg Stories - Our Favorite Instagrams + Podcasts For Winter 2023-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/95992b24-1d54-4748-b420-268f2bea9f2c/The+Mountain+Gazette+Library.jpg Stories - Our Favorite Instagrams + Podcasts For Winter 2023-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/5b4eb299-dbcd-4b5b-a8ad-82cb85776c21/Back+from+Broken.png Stories - Our Favorite Instagrams + Podcasts For Winter 2023-24 https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2024/2/14/take-a-hike-kodels-canyon-trail monthly 0.5 2024-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/bef9bb8d-3f22-4b1a-b6e4-6dab94627b37/IMG_4639.jpg Stories - Take A Hike: Kodels Canyon Trail - Make it stand out Photos by Melanie Wiseman https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/0910de9d-9bef-4cc7-a95d-0002ac3bc803/IMG_4608.jpg Stories - Take A Hike: Kodels Canyon Trail - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/e91fedb3-a95e-49b8-b61f-82fe4f2be600/IMG_4625.jpg Stories - Take A Hike: Kodels Canyon Trail - GETTING THERE Drive south from Fruita on Highway 340. Immediately past the McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area turnoff (Kings View Road), there is an unmarked, primitive, dirt parking area on the right. The trailhead is easy to spot. Restrooms are available at Dinosaur Hill located on the opposite side of 340. The trail may look a little unappealing from the trailhead, but following the initial ascent, you will enjoy vast shapes and contours of Estrada Sandstone and its rosy red and white layers that never disappoint. Beware of the ghost of Kodel, who some thought as half crazy for taking potshots at anyone approaching “his” canyon. https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2024/2/14/reviving-grand-junctions-historic-gem-the-journey-of-restoring-the-union-depot monthly 0.5 2024-02-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/38df8871-7ee7-4fdb-8457-74b9c2b5650a/Thode+Klinger+Set+1-8-1941.jpg Stories - Reviving Grand Junction's Historic Gem: The Journey Of Restoring The Union Depot - Make it stand out Photos courtesy of GJ Union Depot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/bddc3710-99a2-4746-a1e8-30d5b9d4fef6/40th+Anniversary+Photo.png Stories - Reviving Grand Junction's Historic Gem: The Journey Of Restoring The Union Depot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/54a57ea9-4235-4d87-8b32-925e995376e1/GJ+Train+Depot-27a.jpg Stories - Reviving Grand Junction's Historic Gem: The Journey Of Restoring The Union Depot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/fd6728b2-5114-4457-a3f3-d39756e90973/GJ+Train+Depot-3.jpg Stories - Reviving Grand Junction's Historic Gem: The Journey Of Restoring The Union Depot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/d1482366-9658-450c-a076-08a95b394e5c/Janell-SleepingCarAttendant+lives+in+Chicago%2BAntonio-Conductor.jpg Stories - Reviving Grand Junction's Historic Gem: The Journey Of Restoring The Union Depot - Make it stand out Photo by Kitty Nicholason https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2024/2/14/snowmass-ice-age-discovery monthly 0.5 2024-02-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/e5440db7-eead-47ae-8403-0dab274a5bfd/credited+to+Hal+Williams.jpg Stories - Snowmass Ice Age Discovery - Make it stand out Photo by Hal Williams https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/c9ccae0f-e8fd-4887-93f8-54a797eb321e/Photo+by+Tamara+Susa.jpg Stories - Snowmass Ice Age Discovery - Make it stand out Photo by Tamara Susa https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2024/2/12/luis-benitez-championing-the-outdoor-indutry-in-colorado-beyond monthly 0.5 2024-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/a4cb527f-b749-4ef4-b73b-e237c68bbb04/luis-benitez-cobs_22630714811_o.jpg Stories - Luis Benitez — Championing The Outdoor Industry In Colorado + Beyond - Make it stand out Photos by Didrik Johnck https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/0a7894d4-497a-407a-9816-70be70296881/climbers-in-a-whiteout-on-mt-elbrus_22605988182_o.jpg Stories - Luis Benitez — Championing The Outdoor Industry In Colorado + Beyond - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1f0284a8-13e4-470a-b6b5-6033b680b4b9/luis-benitez-nepal_22606003542_o+cropt.jpg Stories - Luis Benitez — Championing The Outdoor Industry In Colorado + Beyond - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2024/2/6/love-is-local-valentines-day-inspiration-from-spokeblossom monthly 0.5 2024-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/8befc860-a603-4cf6-a37c-6d375b32aaaf/Stormcellar.png Stories - Love Is Local: Valentines Day Inspiration From Spoke+Blossom - The Storm cellar Skip the roses, and gift rosé!

I rejoice in the special bond that forms on our desert trails when women invest in themselves, encourage each other to step out of their comfort zones and learn to ride a section of trail they thought was unrideable. My ethos lies in connecting women and reframing limiting beliefs to spark moments of laughter and freedom. Witnessing the spark in their eyes, seeing that huge confident smile and being part of their journey is where I rejoice.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/a3234548-05d3-4667-8b83-71f5581fa290/Nickolas+Paullus+grey.jpg Stories - Voices Of Western Colorado On REJOICE - NICKOLAS PAULLUS — Local Writer “Rejoice is at its heart a celebration of the other. We ‘rejoice IN’ the world around us. Often, happiness is expected to be rooted in the self, but to rejoice is to find it elsewhere. Joy becomes a gift. The ‘re’ suggests joy visits us again and again. It’s cyclical; old loves come back around. The first snow, the last peach, the friend’s homecoming, the mushrooms, the monsoon, holy days and spiced cider. Happiness comes full circle to find us. So, when we rejoice, we don’t make joy so much as it makes us.” https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2023/12/20/winter-racing-elevated-vail-rec-continues-to-grow-this-seasonal-series monthly 0.5 2023-12-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/acde3f95-5684-43c5-8cbe-ac7d5aff9a74/505A4504.jpg Stories - Winter Racing, Elevated: Vail Rec Continues to Grow This Seasonal Series - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/9b0120a6-5e7a-47e7-88d1-00dfb2e58c95/505A7057.jpg Stories - Winter Racing, Elevated: Vail Rec Continues to Grow This Seasonal Series - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2023/2/22/winter-cocktail-everybodypearup monthly 0.5 2023-12-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1b002322-d7cb-4a6a-93cd-3bd59ee38677/PearCocktail_JaymeHenderson_04.jpg Stories - Winter Cocktail Recipe: Everybody, Pear Up! - Make it stand out Photos by Jayme Henderson. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/a96f6455-ee30-4cba-b507-1f28667ac8b6/PearCocktail_JaymeHenderson_09.jpg Stories - Winter Cocktail Recipe: Everybody, Pear Up! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2023/12/15/winter-recipes-warm-up-your-winter-with-pot-pies monthly 0.5 2023-12-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/824dcfa0-d0b0-4011-8983-9e1340072c17/CAT_0154.png Stories - Winter Recipes: Warm Up Your Winter With Pot Pies - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/2978d7a8-1dcd-4c20-924c-370d49815c33/CAT_0152.png Stories - Winter Recipes: Warm Up Your Winter With Pot Pies - Make it stand out Photos by Cat Mayer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/9dc54651-167c-402b-b590-12604c416d54/CAT_0181.JPG Stories - Winter Recipes: Warm Up Your Winter With Pot Pies - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2023/12/14/luminarias-a-joyful-glow monthly 0.5 2023-12-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/3f2a8896-a46e-40c3-8db9-e31d8a4d0588/Christmas+6+Photo+by+Christopher+Tomlinson.jpg Stories - Luminarias: A Joyful Glow “My favorite part of the tradition is seeing all our neighbors out on Christmas Eve.

In a mixing tin, combine the rye whiskey, aged rum, grilled pineapple juice, sage simple syrup and lemon juice. 2. Add ice, shake well and strain into a chilled coupe glass. 3. Garnish with a fresh sage leaf. GRILLED PINEAPPLE JUICE Take fresh slices from a whole pineapple and grill both sides, just long enough to get a good char. You don’t want to grill the slices too long and dehydrate them. From there, juice the slices, let cool and make the cocktail. SAGE SIMPLE SYRUP Combine one cup water and one cup sugar with a handful of fresh sage leaves. Over low heat, stir the mixture and remove from heat once it begins to simmer. Let the sage leaves steep for five minutes, strain them and let the syrup cool. This sage simple syrup will keep fresh in the refrigerator for up to a month. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/e735dcf8-874c-4245-b0b8-9d24702b45cd/Fall+Cocktail_Henderson_02+alt.jpg Stories -

It’s more of a feeling than a physical place. My haven is ripping down a Rocky Mountain trail on my bike, locked into a complete feeling of concentration and flow. It’s the perfect snow that has just enough density to lift me up, so I feel weightless on top of my board, leaning into the turns, arms out, brushing the powder beside me. It’s my family laughing together and the escape of a great yoga class. A haven is necessary to thrive, to create, to live to your full potential.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/c62ac432-3607-4a1f-aeda-cbe0913345a7/Jeff+Vierling+grey.jpg Stories - Voices of Western Colorado: Haven - JEFF VIERLING — Founder and CEO of Tailwind Nutrition “Haven — from höfn, havn,hæfen — a port or harbor (not always safe harbor). Here on the Western Slope, haven is where adventure and tranquility converge. Where beauty washes over us, where clarity of mind comes with physical effort, where we connect with those who have come before us and those who will come after. But, never without danger — ever-present and essential in a way it isn’t in more populous places. I feel lucky to be surrounded by havens, places to slow down, think and be grateful, recognizing that we all need access to havens in our lives.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/9cf7738a-85de-45b5-a06b-7adfe80b8fae/Bill+headshot+grey.jpg Stories - Voices of Western Colorado: Haven - BILL GREENWOOd — Executive Chef of Greenwood’s “As a teenage snowboarder in Georgia, I always aspired to live in the Rocky Mountains. So, I moved to Colorado to find my haven. Being an avid forager, I love to explore the bounty of this land. I’ve found a deep connection exploring the forest floor for wild greens in the spring, mushrooms and berries in the late summer. The beauty of this community and its local farmers offers a haven from the chaos of the world. It’s a space where I can experiment with traditional Western Colorado ingredients, incorporating old and new techniques with my past culinary influences.” https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2023/9/6/the-cycle-effect-board-of-directors-welcomes-kim-fuller-spoke-blossom-co-owner monthly 0.5 2023-09-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/eff9d0a8-a9ee-4099-b30d-46357c51731b/IMG_4414.jpeg Stories - The Cycle Effect Board Of Directors Welcomes Kim Fuller, Spoke+Blossom Co-Owner - Make it stand out Spoke + Blossom co-owner Kim Fuller https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/ec1da1ac-4493-4c33-a029-7dce71c2ebfc/Kim-Mtn-Bike-Crested-Butte.jpg Stories - The Cycle Effect Board Of Directors Welcomes Kim Fuller, Spoke+Blossom Co-Owner - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/solongsummergear monthly 0.5 2023-11-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/0c29fa3a-53f5-4d20-8fad-6d600d31eaf5/TSL_Poles.png Stories - So Long Summer: Our Top Picks For Fall - TSL Connect Carbon 5 Poles TSL’s Crossover Tech is here to help keep you grounded on all your alpine adventures.

According to Kristen and Trent Blizzard, that’s like saying you don’t like fish. “There’s definitely as much diversity in mushrooms as there is in fish,” Trent Blizzard says. “They all taste so different, and they’re full of protein, vitamins and minerals. They’re a very healthy part of the diet.” Chanterelles have a fruity taste, porcinis offer a very earthy taste, saffron milk caps have a mildly nutty, woodsy flavor, hawk’s wings are the most “mushroomy” of the bunch and puffballs, while mild and delicious, absorb the flavors around them like tofu does, Kristen Blizzard explains. And, as the Blizzard’s point out in their book, “One of the best things about cooking wild mushrooms is that every time you open your dried caches, their unique aroma recalls your foraging experience, creating an immediate and visceral connection back to the forest. There is no finer way to appreciate food.” “For anyone saying they don’t like mush-rooms, they’re missing out on a whole world of foodie adventure,” Kristen Blizzard says. https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2023/8/3/silverton-powerhouse-community-resilience-through-art monthly 0.5 2023-08-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/d4a9eda3-77dd-4a14-87b6-bf677fdef7db/Julian%2Bhood%2Bsilverton%2Bpowerhouse-1.jpeg Stories -

My definition is formed from a business focus and a long-lived life full of challenges and rewards from following my passion and dream. Endurance as I see it is choosing a direction of interest, excitement and passion. This choice will help you achieve the dreams and goals you desire. Never stop, change direction or give up. Enduring through all the trials and tribulations and successes makes the end journey beautiful and rewarding.

Mountain Groove has endured multiple decades, from venues in New Jersey and North Carolina to the opera houses in Aspen and the festival grounds of Palisade. The highs and lows of ticket sales, weather and remaining sustainable over that time. Both myself and my partner, Amy Kimberly, have undoubtedly proven that. I had to evacuate the festival grounds due to an electric storm on Aspen Mountain for JamGrass 20 years ago and floods in Palisade in our second year at Palisade Bluegrass and Roots festival. Now, we are in our 14thyear. We show up and build a culture that’s sustainable and thrives.” https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2023/5/30/summer-jams-save-the-dates-for-these-5-western-slope-music-festivals monthly 0.5 2023-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/36a22ac0-03f8-4def-9e8a-8e05a07b00ef/061519_COUNTRYJAM_CROWD6+%281%29.jpg Stories - Summer Jams: Save The Dates For These 5 Western Slope Music Festivals - Make it stand out Country Jam — Photos courtesy of Visit Grand Junction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/a585db30-24ea-4773-bbcb-96c2f7aa80f9/countryjamco-Instagram-2624-ig-17968687327379638+copy.jpg Stories - Summer Jams: Save The Dates For These 5 Western Slope Music Festivals - Make it stand out Country Jam https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2023/5/31/international-markets-on-the-western-slope monthly 0.5 2023-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/b8a96a93-ef1c-4054-9842-8dabeede666d/Lotus+Root%2C+in+Ridgway%2C+offers+a+variety+of+well+sourced+bulk+teas.JPG Stories - International Markets On The Western Slope - Make it stand out Lotus Root in Ridgway offers a variety of well-sourced bulk teas.

Planting mint, rhubarb and strawberries in a small, backyard garden seemed like a good idea at first. Let’s just say that the overabundance of produce definitely fueled my creativity and fondness for these delicious, yet prolific, sprawling plants. One of my favorite warm-weather cocktails incorporates all three of these summertime ingredients — a seasonal spin on the classic mojito. With the addition of a rosé-based syrup, this cocktail is delightfully complex, refreshing, reminiscent of the tropics and well worth the minimal effort required to muddle the fruit. This recipe yields one cocktail, but it makes an eye-catching pitcher drink when batched for a crowd. https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2022/6/24/how-rural-entrepreneurs-founded-a-regional-conference-for-startups monthly 0.5 2022-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/4a2e53e5-2173-4a2a-b47b-53e80aea7ccd/ST788A%7E1.JPG Stories - How Rural Entrepreneurs Founded A Regional Conference for Startups - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/0e37bdec-6ad6-4885-b55d-0404dae03d5a/STA0F9%7E1.JPG Stories - How Rural Entrepreneurs Founded A Regional Conference for Startups - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/97b56cdb-caca-4c20-8d33-648257a7e737/ST2B0B%7E1.JPG Stories - How Rural Entrepreneurs Founded A Regional Conference for Startups - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/2c0fbda7-2f28-4f24-ace0-d2e644a02fe0/ST896E%7E1.jpg Stories - How Rural Entrepreneurs Founded A Regional Conference for Startups - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2022/6/20/gear-for-the-season-summer-2022 monthly 0.5 2022-07-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/aa77661c-bbb6-4eb8-b402-6f3a26439ce6/Patagonia+Dirt+Roamer+Waist+Pack+3L.jpg Stories - Get Outside!

The five-part flower petals resemble a large sailing ship, the outermost petals being the banners. Native Americans used the Golden Banner to make yellow dye. Golden Banner’s velvety seeds resemble a green bean pod. Although the seeds have a pleasant, sweet flavor which attracts people to eat them, they are poisonous. Animals avoid eating this plant as well because of its toxicity. Their leaves cluster in sets of three and are compound folded, making them easy to spot and identify. Golden Banner grow quickly after snow melt, and by late spring, large colonies can be enjoyed under aspens. Although they typically grow in 3-foot clusters, single plants are common in less hospitable environments. Like so many plants that form large colonies, Golden Banner spreads from underground root systems. They enjoy cool, moist, subalpine forests and meadows, often surrounded by lush vegetation. In late May and early summer, the Golden Banner can be seen from foothills to subalpine areas; for example, lining the Bear Creek Trail near the Dolores River and throughout the Uncompahgre National Forest.

The Limelight Aspen, recently renovated and reopening for 2021, is steps from the steeps of Aspen mountain for big hikes and bigger views of the Elk Mountains. The nearby Limelight Snowmass offers unrivaled fall colors, no matter which direction you look, and skiing out the back door. Limelight Ketchum provides an escape farther west for all Coloradoans up to idyllic Sawtooth range. Things move slowly in Ketchum, when you’re not screaming down 2,400 feet of vertical drop on skis or one of the acclaimed, out-there mountain bike trails. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1631294010687-YN3N8N0W65X47ZMLCW99/Pick+a+photo+to+use+-+IMG_7792.jpeg Stories -

It’s something we are collectively craving. One of my favorite classic cocktails is the Corpse Reviver No. 2, which is one of a series of pre-Prohibition “corpse revivers” that were created as hangover cures to revive and invigorate an imbiber suffering from the consequences of overindulging. While this cocktail might not be the best or appropriate way to start your morning, the bright, citrus-forward beverage is definitely an herbaceous palate cleanser that summons summertime sipping. For the spirits in this equal-parts cocktail, I sourced a few standout Colorado options. For the absinthe rinse, look for Golden Moon Distillery’s REDUX Absinthe. Vividly hued, this complex, small-batch liqueur is made from premium herbs, botanicals and spices. With its aromas of lavender and cucumber, Storm King Distilling Co.’s gin works wonderfully in this recipe, offering a complementary lemony finish. Grove Spirits, located in Longmont, produces a floral, richly textured orange liqueur that is made with hand-zested orange peels. https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2021/6/13/palisade-plunge-set-to-open-this-summer monthly 0.5 2021-06-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1623625475553-2QX66S7HEZW8MJPYP065/baletd_DSC7990.jpg Stories - Ride On: Palisade Plunge Phases Opening This Summer - Make it stand out Photo by Devon Balet https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2021/6/13/deltas-crazy-raft-race-returns monthly 0.5 2021-06-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1623621811561-6WC1SOQOTW67G0UDRCHB/Screen+Shot+2021-06-13+at+5.02.58+PM.png Stories - Delta's Crazy Raft Race Returns - Make it stand out Photo by Rick Huffington https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2021/6/8/take-me-to-the-river-riverwondergrass-tunes-up-day-float-trips monthly 0.5 2023-03-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1623156760237-73Q8Z986CB7OIGO5D05V/Screen+Shot+2021-06-08+at+7.51.53+AM.png Stories - Take Me To The River: RiverWonderGrass Tunes Up Day Float Trips - Make it stand out ZACH MAHONE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1623156166427-YPEEMQC1YM859XV4U6QB/RWG2020--200615-1605_MM.jpg Stories - Take Me To The River: RiverWonderGrass Tunes Up Day Float Trips - Make it stand out MOLLY MCCORMICK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1623156672809-10BNCATP345IPAAXWOSW/Screen+Shot+2021-06-08+at+7.50.35+AM.png Stories - Take Me To The River: RiverWonderGrass Tunes Up Day Float Trips - Make it stand out MOLLY MCCORMICK https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2021/6/1/rustic-luxury-at-collective-retreats-vail monthly 0.5 2021-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1622569600126-RMXZZJ50SXPNGR7SEVRP/Glamping-0078.jpg Stories - ‘Rustic Luxury’ At Collective Retreats Vail - Make it stand out Photos courtesy of Collective Retreats Vail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1622569893116-8EWUTIMSX4B4MKZ1ZKY1/PMC_6012.jpg Stories - ‘Rustic Luxury’ At Collective Retreats Vail - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2021/6/5/on-the-move-eats-fuel-up-anywhere-with-some-creativity-planning monthly 0.5 2021-06-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1622912610296-0US9EM7FWHGG1HN34Z6L/5D4_4979-Photo-Zach-Mahone.jpg Stories - On The Move Eats: Fuel Up Anywhere With Some Creativity + Planning - Make it stand out Full-on kitchen in Zach Mahone’s van.

We picked up Sophie Egan’s new book, How to be a Conscious Eater, to learn more about how to choose foods that are healthier for all of us — humans, animals, plants and Earth. We also read Michael Pollan’s books about food, includingThe Omnivore’s Dilemma: Young Readers Edition, a kid-friendly version of his informative book. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1594141914514-5WR9R01YW8FAR87DI0C3/LEMON+%26+BROCCOLI+COUSCOUS.jpg Stories - Recipes: Sustainable Summer Eating - Lemon & Broccoli Couscous SERVES 8 This recipe is adapted from one of my summertime favorites, The Love & Lemons Cookbook.

She believes that “perfection is boring and that love is everything.” She wants to document your love because having something like what you and your person get to experience — all the heart eyes and long kisses and arguments and staying up too late and crying your eyes out — these are not small things. These moments have weight, and it will all go by too fast if we don’t take a moment to be intentional, to pause. “I want to take a little time to slow it all down, soak it all in, and remember the why,” shares Emily. “If you want photos that truly represent you and your love, message me.” emilyklarer.com emilyklarerphotography@gmail.com Instagram @emilyklarerphotography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1590513693662-THUS0Q77COW6XZH163NK/orchard.jpg Stories - S+B Special Section: 2020 Wedding Vendors - Orchard River View Wedding & Event Venue We are located in beautiful Palisade.

I get to work outside. I get a variety of physical and intellectual challenges. Philosophically, I feel like it allows me to live a life that feels like I have the opportunity to be more responsible about my lifestyle choices. Growing my own food, providing food for others and integrating education into that makes me feel like I’m less apart of the problem and perhaps offering a solution,” says Mark Waltermire, owner of Thistle Whistle farm in Hotchkiss, Colorado. https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2020/3/17/roice-hurst-humane-society-its-kitten-season monthly 0.5 2020-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1584480619203-WS8IE53O5Y6J4L3WXIMS/Carson.jpg Stories - Roice-Hurst Humane Society: It's Kitten Season Photos by Jenna Kretschman https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1584480589311-504FS1SSB318IAL5MH5T/courtesy+of+Roice-Hurst+Humane+Society.jpeg Stories - Roice-Hurst Humane Society: It's Kitten Season https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2020/3/10/vhvacrd8u0gjfcj9tk3joojbywj09x monthly 0.5 2020-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1583876405306-NKOLCQDII952HMGSASTJ/Mickelson.jpg Stories - Voices of Western Colorado: Collaboration - Kyle Mickelson “Everybody has strengths and weaknesses. Everybody brings a history of personal experiences. Everybody has their own set of morals and beliefs. When a group of people comes together with open minds and problem solving perspectives, they can truly collaborate. When collaborating, one has to understand that they do not have all of the answers and that it is a game of give and take to solve a problem or resolve an issue. As a survivor of the Columbine High School tragedy of 1999, I experienced firsthand the impact of a community that collaborates together. Through the common pain that we all felt, we were able to reclaim our school and we were more united than ever before. I look back at how my hometown was able to come together and I am proud of the Columbine community. When it seemed impossible to move forward, our community and our school united together to move forward. Differences will always exist, but the Columbine community rallied together. Over twenty years has passed, but I will never forget how the students, staff, parents, community members, local businesses, churches, government officials, local sports teams, and many more were able to work together to help the injured and provide comfort to the survivors. A community collaborated to honor those that were lost and memorialize them as a reminder to never forget the value of human life and the importance of the thirteen special people that were lost. As a community we vowed to never forget them and they are remembered to this date. I know that I would not have made it through that time period if it weren’t for the amazing collaboration of my Columbine community. We were forced to come together because of tragedy, but from that darkness a community came together and was a living, breathing example of collaboration.” Kyle Mickelson is an Assistant Principal at Rifle High School. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1583876742896-LTL5KMRM9MX20SKWLM26/ASHLEY+001.jpeg Stories - Voices of Western Colorado: Collaboration - Ashley “Goose” Cameron “Collaboration is one of the most important factors in fostering community and connection with others. It enables people within an organization, community, team, even family, to engage with each other productively and efficiently. I learned the importance of collaboration in the military very quickly, and continuing to live a life of service to others outside of the military only reinforces that importance. When you work with others to achieve a goal, you uplift one another, make a personal connection, and learn about and from others, as well as yourself. Collaboration teaches the importance of sharing, leading, supporting, and how incredible things are when you have the help of others, building a sense of community and support. In the end you have others to celebrate your accomplishment with, and that is so much better than doing it alone.” Goose is a military veteran turned yogi, based in Grand Junction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1583876438320-2FZ8FQ4ZWGEOYE0O6J4O/image-asset.jpeg Stories - Voices of Western Colorado: Collaboration - Ryan Dutch “I view collaboration as an inherent human strength — the sharing of ideas and strengths of individuals (plus or minus) to create an outcome greater than what could have been done alone. However, in limiting our view of collaboration to a group of people, we often ignore the power of using our natural surroundings and wild spaces as a contributing factor. Through the CMU Outdoor Program, we use intentional collaboration with our environment to not only promote protecting our wild spaces, but also in improving ourselves. We use the outdoors as a classroom to inspire passion in people to become better. In return then, we must give back by protecting and preserving through our political voice, showing compassion by treating everything with respect, and leaving it better than we found it and not being wasteful with resources.” Ryan Dutch is the Outdoor Program director for Colorado Mesa University. https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2020/3/8/first-thunder monthly 0.5 2023-03-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1583707766875-0I0AOJCK2XOKMTCNYMX2/20200308_140740.jpg Stories -

A gas fire pit won’t send out dangerous sparks, making it the safer choice. • Educate children about fire safety. • Keep a water source or fire extinguisher nearby whenever you light up the fire pit. https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2020/1/10/fun-at-spun-palisade-yarn-shop-offers-unwind-gatherings monthly 0.5 2023-03-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1578770003587-1CMJ50H0NUG8JBNVIKSJ/IMG_2777.jpg Stories - Fun at Spun: Palisade’s Only Yarn Shop Offers “Unwind” Gatherings Spun owner Cayenna Hanna offers classes for kids and adults, including knitting socks, mittens, fingerless gloves and “crazy scarves.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1578770164978-L5WEHHJ99RNHCVDBG9BB/IMG_2732.jpg Stories - Fun at Spun: Palisade’s Only Yarn Shop Offers “Unwind” Gatherings Photos by Sharon Sullivan. https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2020/1/6/a9bij4cuo1pt1j238o5rltku1zy16t monthly 0.5 2020-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1578517353866-N2X02YDD74J9MB9XO49P/Honey+Bee+Pollen+Soap+%28I+love+this+one%29.jpg Stories - Local Love at Hartmann Farmhouse Honey Bee Pollen Soap from Hartmann Farmhouse, made of wax and honey from the owner’s family hives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1578517397199-OH0UO69FBV8IIVXSBP1J/Espresso+Soap.jpg Stories - Local Love at Hartmann Farmhouse Espresso Soap, one of Hartmann’s unique, natural, handcrafted soaps, dusted with coffee grounds from her daily coffee! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1578517434833-BOGNW6RVKZC2FXQI38QP/Pina+Colada+Soap.png Stories - Local Love at Hartmann Farmhouse Pina Colada Soap.

I use locally harvested elk or German pork sausage for this recipe, but any grass-fed animal sausage will do. Vegetarians can substitute another can of garbanzo beans for the sausage. This stew tastes best eaten under a cozy blanket by a crackling fire with loved ones. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1577575027659-7JZSSNV0009C4ZU8R5TQ/Soup+Bison+Bean-001.jpg Stories - Winter Warmers - BISON + VEGGIE STEW Grass-fed meats, including wild game, provide us humans with healthier fats and a wider variety of vitamins and antioxidants compared to meat from animals raised on grain, corn or in feedlots.

Punch is easy to prepare in advance and allows for self-service bartending when you’re otherwise occupied in the kitchen — or when you’d rather spend more time with your guests than sling cocktails behind the bar. This sparkling, citrus punch is lively, herbaceous and balanced. It reminds me of holidays growing up in Central Florida, where the winter citrus is varied and abundant this time of year.

Their mission is to celebrate, nurture, and honor chefs and other leaders making America’s food culture more delicious, diverse, and sustainable. This recognition would not only be a first for our community, but also for our state, as only a handful of Coloradans have ever been nominated. Most importantly, it would be a representation of the staff, vendors, farmers, ranchers, bakers, and everyone who elevates the western Colorado food scene through their craft. Please take a moment and vote for Josh at jamesbeard.org/awards. He’s representing all of us! https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2018/12/8/the-downtown-art-scene monthly 0.5 2023-03-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1544338948707-35BGYA4D5KAKSWYY7VKH/Art_Cat+Mayer-002.jpg Stories -

A quart-sized canning jar is perfect. (Note: Use distilled water if your water at home is highly chlorinated.) Loosely cover the jar with a piece of cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel, or just leave the lid askew. Airflow is highly demanded here. Store the jar in a dark, room-temperature space like a cabinet or pantry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1544281561249-VO0OCWGLQDZM3D3DRL2H/Sourdough_Cat+Mayer-007.jpg Stories - Cold + Snow Call for Sourdough - Step 2 Feed the starter. You may have some movement — or not, which is OK. Discard half of your current starter. To the remaining half, mix in 1 cup of all-purpose flour and ½ cup of warm water. Replace the covering and place the jar back in your cabinet or pantry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1544281940812-ZGZE6MI5D7CALCN6Z1A6/Sourdough_Cat+Mayer-008.jpg Stories - Cold + Snow Call for Sourdough - Step 3 You should see some more movement, but it is still OK if you don’t. You’ll start twice-a-day feedings, following the Day 2 steps about every 12 hours. If it looks like your starter has died (i.e., there are no bubbles or movement), just keep up with the feeding schedule. Continue discarding, feeding, and storing for about 4-5 days. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1544282027834-71GSE5N5114CJTNOOC70/Sourdough_Cat+Mayer-003.jpg Stories - Cold + Snow Call for Sourdough - Step 4 You should see lots of bubbles and movement, and there should be a strong, tangy smell. This indicates that there should be enough yeast to give your bread a vigorous rise, and sufficient fermentation to achieve a characteristic sourdough flavor. Here in western Colorado’s dry climate, it may take longer than seven days for your starter to be ready. That’s OK, just keep going! Now you’re ready to bake a loaf of bread. If the loaf is successful, your starter is successful. If the loaf is not successful, continue to grow and feed your starter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1544282633210-X7IUMF2AWELKVFJZFDD6/Sourdough_Cat+Mayer-025.jpg Stories - Cold + Snow Call for Sourdough https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1544282779320-AMRNCHGS5YSHEHIIU24B/Sourdough_Cat+Mayer-010.jpg Stories - Cold + Snow Call for Sourdough https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1544282830842-H00TJQLX58RNVA5KPQPH/Sourdough_Cat+Mayer-015.jpg Stories - Cold + Snow Call for Sourdough https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1544282972560-MTT27OUZWH2XPFLFVEWJ/Sourdough_Cat+Mayer-027.jpg Stories - Cold + Snow Call for Sourdough https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2018/12/7/hopewest-raises-a-cup-to-history-at-the-miller-homestead monthly 0.5 2018-12-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1544244280387-63ANW2T1DMCGTYG9A6BO/Artful+Cup_Cat+Mayer-002.jpg Stories - HopeWest Raises a Cup to History The Artful Cup at the Miller Homestead in Grand Junction https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1544244097084-GR70OW1QOS6VMBE1EPZ8/Artful+Cup_Cat+Mayer-003.jpg Stories - HopeWest Raises a Cup to History Photos by Cat Mayer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1544244493716-0TVADCDJ7VXJIAVPXN4X/Artful+Cup_Cat+Mayer-008.jpg Stories - HopeWest Raises a Cup to History Mr. and Mrs. Miller at their 50th wedding anniversary https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1544245180970-XCHF36G57LV6J3T2FUWP/Artful+Cup_Cat+Mayer-012.jpg Stories - HopeWest Raises a Cup to History https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2018/12/7/bookblend-knitting-in-antarctica-willow-creek-teas monthly 0.5 2023-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1544218348956-2FMEVLQ3DAQYNZYP0VDS/Knitting+in+Antarctica+Book.jpg Stories - Book+Blend: Knitting in Antarctica + Willow Creek Teas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1544218515277-1OACYHXTSDQAF03UY33M/Willow+Creek+Teas.jpg Stories - Book+Blend: Knitting in Antarctica + Willow Creek Teas https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2018/12/7/whats-up-at-the-colorado-national-monument monthly 0.5 2018-12-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1544216925632-CK9I0RBM1NFO2ZWJRTKM/Saddlehorn+Amphitheater+at+Colorado+National+Monument Stories - What’s Up at Colorado National Monument CNMA is raising funds to upgrade Saddlehorn Amphitheater and its surrounding trails at Colorado National Monument / Photo by Cat Mayer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1544217117514-BY5DD3WQQI5KC9E5H281/Colorado+National+Monument+Cycling+Jersey Stories - What’s Up at Colorado National Monument The 2018-19 Colorado National Monument bike jersey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1544217323916-PTZD5SCSP65QWT8JI149/Colterris+Winery+Monumental+Cabernet+Sauvignon+benefit+wine+for+CNMA Stories - What’s Up at Colorado National Monument Benefit wine for Colorado National Monument Association by Colterris Winery / Photo by Cat Mayer https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2018/12/7/voices-of-western-colorado monthly 0.5 2020-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1544203792363-WU220TSPFG4HWVWY0E8S/Steve+Steese Stories - Voices of Western Colorado: Community Steve Steese is co-founder, farmer, and vinter of The Storm Cellar, Vineyard + Winery, West Elks AVA, Colorado. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1544203879203-6N9834PDA7XRO32QA188/Kelly+Flenniken Stories - Voices of Western Colorado: Community Kelly Flenniken is area manager for community and local government affairs at Xcel Energy, Grand Junction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1544203730721-XZREAX2KSGW003KYDXWL/Devin+Pinkston.jpg Stories - Voices of Western Colorado: Community Devin Pinkston is founder of Identity Insights, a clinical mental health center specializing in transitional and mental health needs of the Western Slope LGBTQ community. https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2018/12/7/quick-weeknight-supper-cast-iron-polenta-griddle-cake monthly 0.5 2018-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1544205004414-F30M71GVBY2AHXRS5JA2/Polenta+Cake Stories - Quick Weeknight Supper: Cast-Iron Polenta Griddle Cake Cast-Iron Polenta Griddle Cake https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2018/12/7/western-colorado-holiday-gift-guide monthly 0.5 2018-12-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1544206731740-2ZFKD0H8GBOK31Q5MHLK/kaylan+calendar-001.jpg Stories - Western Colorado Holiday Gift Guide - K.

Some of the biggest names in major league baseball history have stood at the podium delivering inspirational talks to hundreds of players, coaches, families, and friends in attendance. Among those speakers were Willie Mays, Bob Gibson, Dale Murphy, Tommy Lasorda, and Tony La Russa. The featured speaker at this year’s May 25 banquet at Two Rivers Convention Center will be U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Israel “DT” Del Toro. He may have the most inspirational story of all: Severely injured in Afghanistan in 2005, he recovered from burns over most of his body to set world records in javelin, shot put, and discus at the Invictus Games — an Olympic-style international competition for injured, wounded, or ill servicemen and servicewomen. Del Toro received the 2017 Pat Tillman Award for Service at the ESPYs. The banquet also includes the induction of the newest members of the NJCAA Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame. This year’s inductees are current coaches Tom Arrington (San Jacinto-North) and Dave Burroughs (Cowley College), and former coaches Peter (Larry) Giangrosso (Central Alabama) and Jerry Halstead (John A. Logan). Tickets ($50 each) are available online at jucogj.org, or at the JUCO office in the Home Loan building at Fourth Street and Rood Avenue, Grand Junction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527743332395-8LBYC6U1UPRL6WTM9F65/WineCtryInn-Carolines-Spoke%26Blossom2018Web.jpg Stories -

A good day for them starts before the sun is up and usually ends with pizza. Electronics are something used mostly at school. Billies think weekends are for following (or leading) their parents around ski slopes and dirt trails, and the highlight of every summer is an unbeatable camping trip. Just when a Billie gets her new bike figured out, she has a growth spurt and needs a new one. Exciting fact about Billies: They can grow up to win Olympic medals. (Looking at you, Arielle Gold.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527705174664-61SC8B2HMJ5A75F11KVC/BrandiesWeb.jpg Stories - The Women of Colorado Brandies Brandies are of “that age.” They don’t want to tell you what they’re doing, but they certainly want the freedom to do it. Stickers cover their car bumpers and if the engine hits a snag, Brandies have a pretty good idea how to get it running again. Calling “off” to work may cost them a summer job, but can we really put a price on adventure? Money goes towards travel and outdoor gear. If a cousin visits, Brandies will waste no time getting them in a packraft down the river or on a SUP at Connected Lakes. Show me a good Chaco tan, and I’ll show you a Brandy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527705358949-MUQZM5251MAVSLRB61UL/FCI+Winter2018Web.jpg Stories - The Women of Colorado https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527705240354-OZOQ2B9XHBRVV8709IMC/BeckiesWeb.jpg Stories - The Women of Colorado Beckies These Colorado women are mothers, wives, sisters, and bosses. They check the weather apps more than their Facebook feeds, and they wear yoga pants to actually do yoga. Their years have taught them the value of a quality helmet, but they’re not afraid to take a risk — like trading out the family’s annual camping trip for a bike-packing adventure through Arches. These ladies don’t whine — they often gather around wine. If a walk turns into a hike, then turns into a 36-mile bike ride across the Grand Valley, you’ve found yourself a Becky. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527705293946-47LPT516MPXRGPEGR73I/BettiesWeb.jpg Stories - The Women of Colorado Betties Betties don’t mess around. They have been through a storm or two and aren’t easily rattled anymore. If the sun is out, they’re out there under it. They may ski a little slower (with perfect form) and ride a little lower in their (e-bike) seats, but they know all the best routes and hidden gems. Lift lines and wait times aren’t going to ruin their day, and neither are reading glasses or gray hairs. Two words they simply do not care about are snap and chat. (Well, that’s not exactly true. Ask them how it used to be “before all the people moved here,” and you just might find yourself in the middle of a good old-fashioned chat after all.) https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2018/5/30/annual-fishing-competition-returns-carpocalypse-2018 monthly 0.5 2018-12-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527704678405-RRTPQOSDZTFVE3ZMBJF8/image2Web.jpg Stories - Grand Valley’s Annual Fishing Competition Returns: Carpocalypse 2018 Photography by TJ Smith https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527704569440-2Y07GLAJD24QU9TSA0QZ/PosterWeb.jpg Stories - Grand Valley’s Annual Fishing Competition Returns: Carpocalypse 2018 https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2018/5/26/the-not-quite-right-guide-to-outdoor-etiquette monthly 0.5 2019-04-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527360930742-H35SD0ZBDEOPCXGROLIB/RapidCreek_04-1Web.jpg Stories - Guide to Outdoor Etiquette https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2018/5/30/our-favorite-instagram-pages monthly 0.5 2018-06-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1529098215238-EOFHIW6VF929NG6L94SS/Taproot+Catering Stories - Our Favorite Instagram Pages https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1529098253654-40M5PBIXKS8NN2VLQA86/MRP+Mountain+Racing+Products Stories - Our Favorite Instagram Pages https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1529098294261-GDMO9G00BHE0NFTK9O6V/Monumental+Events Stories - Our Favorite Instagram Pages https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1529098367719-09G1LTDMLKEYFGIXDN71/Footbeat+Sport.jpg Stories - Our Favorite Instagram Pages https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1529098402374-7SA8LDFXPL1UORUIYS5Y/Dinosaur+Journey+and+Museums+of+Western+Colorado Stories - Our Favorite Instagram Pages https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1529098441559-9VIL0SIKFFRYM74T1G39/Copeka+Coffee Stories - Our Favorite Instagram Pages https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527703495642-8OUP28L0TSB1Z5LD5H5C/spokeandblossom_RAWflatWeb.jpg Stories - Our Favorite Instagram Pages https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2018/5/29/loving-and-living-off-the-land monthly 0.5 2022-07-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527615667859-LRPYHZCLD6GEKK1QUKQG/Callie+Sweet+Pea-048Web.jpg Stories - Loving + Living Off The Land Calli’s recipes start with fresh ingredients, including eggs, that she sources from her farm in Palisade. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527615793484-Y5XGA2TSD0ZQROEIIN4O/rack+of+lamb-014Web.jpg Stories - Loving + Living Off The Land Jared Lloyd https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527615909266-E1VVYS3HQ4518OPZRULT/Callie+Sweet+Pea-050Web.jpg Stories - Loving + Living Off The Land https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527616407072-JJOTRP759BV6FRRVQNV9/Callie+Sweet+Pea-041Web.jpg Stories - Loving + Living Off The Land https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527616614268-QV2RC4DRHV150F3MH7ER/Callie+Sweet+Pea-054Web.jpg Stories - Loving + Living Off The Land https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527616709604-TFX2Y84KYKBQ3JJNVR7L/rack+of+lamb-008Web.jpg Stories - Loving + Living Off The Land https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527616842803-71ULEQJUEXFOYMRP6OJV/Timberline+Spring2018Web.jpg Stories - Loving + Living Off The Land https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2018/5/14/spring-into-cycling monthly 0.5 2019-06-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1526320022694-PNXW6YW9GSFNIDSZI67E/IMG_0778+WEB.jpg Stories - Spring Into Cycling Photo: Matt Janson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1526320311783-62PE1C9LH4B34LT8L3CB/18+Road+Bike+Race+in+Fruita.jpg Stories - Spring Into Cycling Photo: Matt Janson https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2018/5/30/dont-run-yourself-into-the-ground monthly 0.5 2018-12-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527701972524-2FN8NWMAG2M05415EAO8/outtakes-001+fadeWeb.jpg Stories - Don't Run Yourself into The Ground Kristen Trombetta The author is a fitness coach at Peak Results, training out of 970Muscle.

An infusion of Saigon cinnamon is added during fermentation. • SCRAPPY APPLE from Talbott’s: Dry cider for those of us who order a drink and think, Hmmm ... next time, less sugar.

Whole organic chickens can also be found at City Market/King Soopers. 1 whole chicken (4-6 pounds) 3 Tbs extra virgin olive oil, divided 1½ tsp salt, divided (try Real Salt’s Ancient Kosher Salt, available at Natural Grocers) ½ tsp garlic powder ¼ tsp dried oregano (or ½ tsp fresh, chopped) ¼ tsp dried rosemary (or ½ tsp fresh, chopped) 1 lemon, halved 1 head garlic cloves, smashed with a knife (skins can be left on) 1 bay leaf 1 small bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley Sweet potatoes, beets, and onion, peeled and halved (optional) 1. Preheat the oven and your roasting pan to 375°. Remove the giblets, rinse the bird inside and out, and pat it dry with paper towels. 2. Combine 2 Tbs oil, 1 tsp salt, garlic powder, oregano, and rosemary in a small bowl. Use your fingers to gently separate the skin from the chicken breasts, being careful not to tear it. Rub half of the oil-herb mixture between the skin and the meat, and half of it on the outside of the bird. (You can also make slits in the thighs and rub in the oil-herb mixture. This helps the thighs roast more evenly with the breasts.) 3. Rub the cavity of the chicken with the remaining oil and salt. Then stuff it with the lemon, garlic cloves, bay leaf, and parsley. Tie the legs together with baking twine. The seasoned chicken can be left to rest in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before cooking. 4. If using the root vegetables, place them in the pan under the chicken. Roast the bird, breast side up, at 375°F for about 1½ hours. Your chicken is ready when a thermometer inserted into the thigh (without touching the thigh bone) reads 160° and the juices run clear. 5. Let the chicken rest until it is cool enough to handle. Remove the meat from the chicken, discarding the skin. Save the carcass for chicken stock. Slow Cooker Chicken Stock (courtesy of Rooted Gypsy Farms) 1 chicken carcass 2 onions, peeled and roughly chopped 2 carrots, roughly chopped 4 celery stalks, roughly chopped 2 bay leaves salt, to taste 1. Place all ingredients in a slow cooker. Cover with water, and cook for 8-12 hours on low heat. 2. Strain and or use immediately, or cool for future use. The stock can be refrigerated for up to one week or frozen for up to three months. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1517155922403-OB2GJGTQGLLNHXIRLO1D/Chicken+Casserole.jpg Stories - Worry-free Weeknight (or Ski Day) Recipes - Easy Enchilada Casserole This is great for nights when you have guests, as it can feed a crowd. It also makes a tasty vegetarian meal — just leave out the chicken. 2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil 1 yellow onion, chopped 4 garlic cloves, pressed or finely chopped 2 tsp cumin Meat from half of a roast chicken (skin removed), shredded 1 15-oz can black beans, drained 1 10-oz bag frozen, cubed sweet potatoes or butternut squash (or 2 sweet potatoes, roasted, skinned, and roughly mashed) 2 4-oz cans mild diced green chiles (or diced fresh chiles from Okagawa Farms) ½ cup cilantro, plus more for serving 2 handfuls fresh spinach 2 16-oz jars Hatch Valley 505 Southwestern Mild Green Chile Sauce (or your favorite enchilada sauce) 8 corn tortillas, torn into pieces (try Sombrerito brand, made in Olathe and available at City Market) 2 cups shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese 1 bunch of green onions, chopped Sour cream or plain Greek yogurt 1. In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the yellow onion to the pot and cook until softened. Add the garlic and cumin, stirring for 1 minute. Turn the heat to low and add the chicken, beans, sweet potatoes, green chiles, and cilantro. Stir to combine. Add the spinach, stirring constantly until it wilts. Turn off the heat, and stir in one jar of the sauce. 2. In a lasagna pan or slow cooker, pour enough sauce to coat the bottom. Add a layer of tortilla pieces, a thick layer of the chicken and bean filling, and top with a layer of cheese. Repeat the layers until the filling is gone. Top the casserole with the remaining sauce. (At this point the casserole can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days or in the freezer for up to three months.) 3. Bake at 350° until bubbly, about 30 minutes (1 hour 15 minutes from frozen). If you’re slow cooking, cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours. 4. To serve, top with chopped green onion, cilantro, and sour cream or yogurt. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1517204977244-O4WZF2BPH32VL0A6C4CB/chicken+soup+with+kale+and+carrots+recipe Stories - Worry-free Weeknight (or Ski Day) Recipes - Chicken Soup with Kale & Carrots This protein-packed soup is both comforting and healthy — the perfect way to warm up on a chilly winter night. 2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil, plus more for serving 1 celery stalk, chopped 1 large leek, washed and chopped (include the dark green part) 3 large carrots, peeled and chopped 1 yellow onion, chopped Leaves from 2 sprigs of thyme (or ½ tsp dried) ½ tsp course sea salt 32 oz organic chicken stock or bone broth Meat from half of a roast chicken (skin removed), shredded 1 bay leaf 1 bunch of kale, chopped (or one 10-oz bag of frozen, chopped kale) Freshly ground black pepper Grated Parmesan cheese 1.

The goatee today is the working man’s beard. If it’s a short-trimmed goatee, you’re looking at a businessman who is heading to the gym right after work, then making his way to the grocery store for veggies. If the goatee is full and long, you have a crossbreed with the Long Down, and are likely in the shoulder season transition to spring. Goatees are generally the first thing to go when a woman enters the picture, unlike the Long Down or the Big Curly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527118782244-K5XBFQ9D43LSJK7UJ27L/CurlyWEB.jpg Stories - What Your Facial Hair Says About You The Big Curly This is a mustache made popular by cowboys and brought back by hipsters. It is a confusing genre of facial hair, as it could send different signals. The Big Curly is a mustache that requires a little wax to bring the tips together. If it sits upon a lip under a large cowboy hat, you have yourself a real-deal cowboy who can likely rope a steer and takes pride in the boots on his feet. If the Big Curly rests on the face of a man with skinny jeans and a sleeve tattoo, you’ve probably found yourself a mixologist who can MacGyver you a drink with a toothpick, a Tab, and old, fermented fruit. The Big Curly is an eye-catching example of dedication to one’s craft. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527118887408-C8BMFLX0XIQDSF3I5V2X/LongWEB.jpg Stories - What Your Facial Hair Says About You The Long Down Less ZZ Top, more Avett Brothers. With its long, billowing fray of hair, this is the most recognizable beard in the state. The Long Down tends to be at least a few inches long and lays on the chest. Often these beards collect breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They require some maintenance in the cleaning department, but little when it comes to trimming or brushing. The one-handed, deep-in-thought stroke of the beard announces, “What I say is going to be wise.” If you age just right with the Long Down, you essentially end up with “The Wizard,” which works wonderfully for costumes, but poorly with seat belts. Owners of the Long Down are great with children, have good taste in music, and tend to like smoked meats. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527119002165-E1KHLYD60RHNWABA76E2/DadWEB.jpg Stories - What Your Facial Hair Says About You The Dad Beard The Dad Beard can be a mixture of hairs that tend to defy science. It can grow in patches due to stress, or grow wild and happy due to downtime. The Dad Beard changes color with the seasons, and is more often brushed and messed with by family members than by the actual owner of the beard. No amount of pulling, tugging, or trimming can lessen the impact of the daddy of them all. Colorado Dad Beard can cover a double chin or draw attention away from a growing forehead. It looks great over a necktie and blazer, and even more comfortable over a Broncos shirt and a smile. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527119194877-I569UA36NWZVGNB765O7/Pollux+Winter2018WEB.jpg Stories - What Your Facial Hair Says About You https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2018/5/23/calling-all-fly-fishers-3-weight-challenge monthly 0.5 2018-12-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527116815784-SVYKQ2FT30IUPQ8NTDKO/Iron+Fly-005Web.jpg Stories - Calling All Fly Fishers: 3-Weight Challenge Photography by Tyler Logan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527117159057-8J8T27SAGWDMZI52KG0M/Iron+Fly-006WEB.jpg Stories - Calling All Fly Fishers: 3-Weight Challenge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527117433476-0HK9Y6C54X9E13FDQJLY/23_Cafe+solWEB.jpg Stories - Calling All Fly Fishers: 3-Weight Challenge https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2018/5/23/our-favorite-instagram-pages monthly 0.5 2018-06-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1528846618616-KKZIHVWS3DFW9K6P7Z4M/Colorado+West+Slope+Fly+Fishing Stories - Our Favorite Instagram Pages https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1528846787913-I2J9YKJ3Z3QOE8THU68Z/File+Oct+25%2C+10+25+25+AM.jpeg Stories - Our Favorite Instagram Pages https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1528846975014-3IOGU2FKZOYZTGSP4TN3/TacoParty.jpg Stories - Our Favorite Instagram Pages https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1528847029831-W6JJPLSYCIIMGL23EA3S/Kiln+Coffee+Bar.jpeg Stories - Our Favorite Instagram Pages https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1528847485480-8MJ4V5TYA3J5M9GTRDGF/Powderhorn+%232.jpeg Stories - Our Favorite Instagram Pages https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1528847229794-9Y0NG622Q141LWUBQ34C/olderwiserstronger.jpeg Stories - Our Favorite Instagram Pages https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527115682511-IQPWHIYKJNKOXVRUSPFC/PROOF1+Dental+Assoc+Jan2018+WEB.jpg Stories - Our Favorite Instagram Pages https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527187677126-KXXZCQ3HQ8ZKM5S9V6MJ/CarlsonVineyard_122017Web.jpg Stories - Our Favorite Instagram Pages https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2018/5/25/wild-ice-skating monthly 0.5 2018-12-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527278694649-M0UA7ZKP21UG8Y5YRTJX/DSC04387Web.jpg Stories - Wild Ice Skating Photography by Ann Driggers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527278468068-TPFQQVAH303NK4W1KJEK/Al+Hi+RezWeb.jpg Stories - Wild Ice Skating A surreal experience: skating Maroon Lake https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2018/5/25/grooming-for-greatness monthly 0.5 2018-12-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527277717753-EPMJSSD52XNAC5EF8T2L/Nordic-004Web.jpg Stories - Grooming For Greatness Photography by Lee Gelatt https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527277948901-BYP6XGK2BHGSU3QJGCDJ/Nordic-007Web.jpg Stories - Grooming For Greatness https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2018/5/25/joseph-sanchez monthly 0.5 2018-06-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527275987181-89IGJNJYK9CSKLKY04HH/Joe+Sanchez_Cat+Mayer-001+Web.jpg Stories - Who We Are: Joseph Sanchez Photography by Cat Mayer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527276216655-GR11P282GEN86LSRM12X/Enstrom+Spoke_Blossom_FullWeb.jpg Stories - Who We Are: Joseph Sanchez https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527276577966-EBGE3FZNJYWJGWLT535A/Ad+Web.jpg Stories - Who We Are: Joseph Sanchez https://www.spokeandblossom.com/stories/2018/5/25/anybody-can-ski-uphill monthly 0.5 2021-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c2ba268419c2a09b98d941/1527273765816-CMTE05YUFFRVSF3OG8J1/DSC00622WEB.jpg Stories - Anybody Can Ski Uphill S+B’s Robin Brown, a former Captain in the Army and an Iraq war veteran, skins up Mt.
