Hope you had a safe Memorial Day! I spent a gorgeous Memorial day morning in Morrison - starting with a delicious eggs, bacon, and french toast breakfast at "The Cow" (formerly The Blue Cow). They had the road into Morrison lined with American flags. It was very patriotic looking, and the sight of them got right into my heart. They had a memorial ceremony at the war memorial on the west end of town, with a trumpet player, and lots of people attending.
Mandy and I picked up Jennefer on the way. She was one of Kristan's caregivers, and she's been coming along on a lot of our walks lately. She lost her job and her best friend at the same time, when Kristan died, so we agreed to keep each other company. She's got a good sense of all the birds we've been seeing on our walks, and is helping me put names to them.
We had perfect weather for a sunny walk along Bear
Creek, which is still very full of Spring runoff. The water was roaring through the rapids and over the flow control dams, very fun to watch and hear, and feel the spray.We were glad that even though the water was lapping at edge of the trail, in its lowest spot, today it wasn't overflowing the path, so we could continue on our full walk.
There were a bunch of kayakers in the parking
lot, getting ready to go, as we were leaving on our walk, talking about "taking out here" and they were gone up the creek when we returned. We sat on the wall for awhile,
after we got back, and watched for them to show up, but got bored and
decided to leave, when our legs started burning in the sun. With as little sun as we've gotten this month, it was kind of amazing, just finding our legs getting warm while we were sitting.

Hi Sumner, Jennefer, and Mandy:
ReplyDeleteJust wonderful to hear from you my friend, and that you are out and about. Your photos really show a beautiful spring.
Everything here is OK. The usual departure of Temporary Resident has occurred. The lower traffic congestion sure helps.
I see Mandy has completely recovered! Someone should inform her that in Colorado you smoke weed, not play in it!
Gene.
