Dear Friends,  This year has certainly been a different one and as I checked our town calendar I found that  almost all of our typical activities-such as a parade, car show, craft fair have all been cancelled. The only thing that is still going on is our Hot Air Balloon Dawn Patrol.   However, one thing we noticed is that down our Main Street on each light pole there is a flag waving; it felt so patriotic to see them all.  Regardless of the turmoil going on in America right now, we live in the most incredible country. 

We had talked of getting a reservation to go into Rocky Mountain National Park tomorrow, but were too late and they are all full.  Maybe next week, though with snow in the forecast I doubt it.  Snow-what?!  It's much too early, but may help put out some of our fires.  So I think our weekend will be quiet; the winds picked up again and the smoke is bad.  Our thought of a long bike ride fizzled with the air quality being so dangerous.  I hope you all have a great weekend and can thank those in America who serve us-whether truck drivers, farmers, grocers, first responders, police or public servants.  

Blessings to you!
