A lovely experience

We had a wonderful experience tonight, a service of choral evensong at St. Aidan's Episcopal Church (nextdoor to CU).

A pleasant Saturday

This was a delightful Saturday for us with perfect weather and lots to see and do. We set out for the UMC of Johnstown's annual holiday craft fair. It was fun to see such creative expressions of holiday cheer!

After a lunch at the Cracker Barrel in Loveland, we took a stroll around the Chapungu Sculpture Park. We discovered this almost by accident and are so glad we did!

A nice day for a stroll

The view from Charles' room this morning

Charles' time in Estes Park has been very full which made this afternoon's free time that much sweeter. Taking advantage of the time and nice weather, Charles went to the Estes Park Golf Course for a round. There were a lot of elk on the course and the bugle calls of the bull elk could be heard from all corners!

Tuesday morning in the Rockies

Sporting a cool look!

Charles has been attending two meetings as part of his clergy responsibilities this week in Estes Park. It's only 40 miles north of us and is a nice place to get the work of the church done!

An afernoon in Olde Arvada

We had time this afternoon to head down to Arvada to take in some of the annual scarecrow festival. We also got to visit the historic Arvada Flour Mill, an interesting look into the past.

Chokecherry tree in the backyard

With warmer weather on the way this weekend, yesterday's snow is quickly melting on Gillaspie Drive. The leaves will no doubt begin to quickly change colors and begin to drop in the coming days making for a lovely sight on the Front Range.
