I am back home from a wonderful birthday trip to see my son. One of the highlights, besides seeing him, was the Denver Botanic Garden. It’s in full glory as you might imagine at this time of year. Never been there? It is well worth the price of admission; I think it is one of the best Botanic Gardens.

Denver was cooler than Wyoming and a bit rainy. This morning we walked a 5K around Sloan Lake. Coming home I saw zillions of campers. This is when people go to Yellowstone and The Tetons. Usually I-25 is empty, but right now there is a parade heading north. Lots of motorcycles are out too.

Now, on to folding the huge mountain of clean sheets and towels used by last week’s five house guests. I hope you enjoy the photos!
