A lovely week

This has been a lovely week. Not only good
weather, but good visits.

Connie and Meara were in town on Wednesday.
We met at the library and walked to the
Tea House for tea for me and lunch for
them. Meara hadn't seen the tea house
before and was appropriately appreciative.

After lunch we walked the Pearl Street Mall
with a stop at the Peppercorn. It's a long
way from Boulder to the Denver Tech Center
where they were staying so the visit wasn't
very long, but very enjoyable.

Yesterday I ran errands and then picked up
Ariel at 5 PM at the Erie Rec Center where
she attends Day Camp. Yesterday was Field
Trip day so she hadn't wanted to miss it.
It turned out to be a very, very hot
day and they went to the Zoo. After the
fact she wished she'd skipped the Field
Trip. The bus driver wouldn't turn on
the air conditioner so it was a hot ride
as well as a hot Zoo.

Today she helped with several gardening
projects until it seemed too hot. Actually,
it's not that hot outside, but in the sun
it sure felt hot.

I just received a call that I can pick up
my garden-in-a-box on Monday instead of
the 18th. We started getting the garden
ready, but ran out of peat and sheep
which I want to spread and dig in before
I plant the new garden.

Tomorrow the United Way is hosting a picnic
for the Mountain community at the Gateway
fun park. We are signed up to go and plan
to take Ariel and ourselves in the Van.
Hopefully, it'll be a day such as today
rather than hot as yesterday was. We'll
see.
