… the 21^stnight of September?

Am I showing my age, or are you by knowing that that’s the opening line to the 1990 hit song released by Earth Wind & Fire? Sorry, it will probably be in your head all day!

We are now in Colorado Springs where we were at the end of October last year. Magnificent places to visit such as the Air Force Chapel Academy, the Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak that you have already experienced.

At the time of writing, Colorado is our number one state for a potential future retirement home location. We love the state for its magnificent scenery — the mountains, the parks and the outdoor lifestyle – there is just so much to see and do. That said, it’s not the cheapest place to live as there is a state income tax and property is not exactly inexpensive especially in the beautiful ski resorts such as Aspen where celebrities abound and the starting price for a home is $7 million and upwards!

We particularly like this part of the state for its weather. What’s really high on our hit list is days of sunshine. On average, the city of Colorado Springs has over 240 days of sunshine a year and this past winter it has had very little snow, some six inches, and because of the bright days the snow that falls overnight has generally melted by the middle of the morning.

Remember! The stunning Air Force Academy Chapel!
