This is the season of garage and yard sale bargains – even some freebies! – and you can find lots of fertile shopping ground driving around on the weekends near Colliers Hill. And if you’re the one selling, expect a long line of takers for the stuff you no longer want or need. Who doesn’t like scoring a deal on barely or gently used kids’ clothes, sports gear and lawn equipment, snow blowers, bikes, trikes, scooters and kitchen tools!
Farmer’s Markets (like the one every Thursday in Erie from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m.) present choice produce options throughout the summer and our motto is carpe diem! Seize the day, and stock up on juicy fruits and delectable produce, home-grown in Colorado for the mile-high minions. We’ve waited all year long to score some of those luscious farmer berries, cherries, apricots and melons to create one-of-a-kind summery fruit desserts. Just look at all these options!

Patios, decks and stone or brick extensions expand your outdoor living space, but fall short of an actual outdoor “room”. They are, however, a great foundation for a gazebo, pavilion, pergola or arbor which are not only “room” additions, but offer the perfect space to relax, dine, nap and sip – who doesn’t like to spend time outdoors with a cup ‘o joe or a perfectly mixed cocktail?
While gazebos and pergolas lack solid walls and sometimes roofs, their configurations gives shape and definition to outdoor spaces. Plus, the see-through character offers the beauty of being outside to catch a few Vitamin D-boosting rays of sunshine, and lowering your stress levels! Arbors are perfect for dressing up walkways and framing a pretty view. They don’t cost much to DIY, but you can also get an easy-to-assemble kit at your local home improvement store.
