Welcome!

My family came to what is now Boulder, Colorado, arriving when Boulder was three months old. My Great-great-grandfather was Carson W. Arbuthnot and with him, he brought his four sons and a son-in-law. Since a little child I have loved the history of this beautiful mountain area, the legacy's of the Natives who were here when my family arrived, and the way our community has grown to what it is today. My blog is dedicated to seeking evidence of all that happened. The good, the bad and the ugly, I will share the evidence of what I find.

I also share Boulder County and Colorado History through entertaining storytelling. Dressed as one of my early Boulder County ancestors, I will make you laugh, smile and sometimes cry as I share the stories of the people who came before us and who established these communities that we enjoy today. Please visit my storytelling and events pages for information on performances.

Welcome to my blog, I hope you enjoy your time here.

Sincerely,
Donlyn Arbuthnot

February 14, 1942 Diary

Friday, 45th Day - 320 Days to Follow

Written by Margie Arbuthnot

13 degrees above at 7 A.M.
Snowed all day but not much.
Don and Dad took corn to Niwot to have ground 
and drove on to Longmont.
Don made a bargain for a Ford Tractor.  
I fried out lard this P.M.
Donny went home with Don to stay all nite.
Florence going to a shower for Eileen Jones Nelson.
18 degrees above at 9 P.M.
Doesn't everybody render lard on Valentines day?
Don Arbuthnot, Margie's youngest son, plowing the field.
This is how it was done before he bought the tractor.
