Somehow lost in the excitement of year-round marathoning, our local Lafayette Peach Festival dropped off my radar – missed the past 2 years. Luckily [thanks to Ash], World’s back on its axis. Spin on, folks. Kiddo scoped out the date, marked the calendar – absolutely ZERO chance of missing this year’s offering. Palisades peaches.
Sweetest, juiciest and messiest PEACH on the Planet. YUM! Group-purchased a FULL flat with Ash & Tom this year. $45/box; not cheap but mighty deee-lish. Ate ‘til my gut protruded; pitted/quartered/froze the rest. Will be a welcome treat when the snow flies 😊
the Tale of Colorado’s GREAT SUMMER PEACH doesn’t end there.
Tuesday Aug 21st – SIXTH year of shark tornadoes AND a slice of HOMEMADE PEACH pie. Birthday Pie #2. Different crust, different fruit – result? Our Betty Crocker of the Rockies homered again, outta the Park. Not just a baker, Ash’s a PIE-making SAVANT. True life talent revealed. Away with the mixer. Buttercream piping – be gone.
Hear ye! Hear ye! I Decree: BIRTHDAY PIE, every year 🥧❤️

After a MONTH of over-the-top TRAVEL, next 25 days of Colorado-only comes open-arm welcome. Appreciate the amazing opportunity to see/experience so many diverse cultures & landscapes – #luckyinlife super thankful – just missing my Rocky Mountain home. All ’bout Balance.
August 1st – Colorado Day (1876 statehood), free access to all State Parks
August 2nd – Grandpup Marty’s first day with Ro & Papa. Ash & Tom flew East Coast to see family/friends AND attend another summer wedding. Papa doubled his Pup count for a week; Ro gained a hunting partner. Rabbits. Squirrels. ALL MUST DIE. Morning/noon/evening walks ‘round our two local reservoirs, Hecla & Waneka. Kill count 2 this season.
Saturday morn – hometown Downtown. ATM-robbed my bank account then a personal best to self-support Louisville’s Farmers Market. Duck eggs, dried fruit, craft Kombucha & jarred pickles. BUY, BUY, BUY. Finished off the a.m. with breakfast at Huckleberry’s: corned beef hash & eggs. FAAANNNNTASTIC! A-ok to fall off the diet wagon every now ‘n then, right?
Late afternoon movie. No one outgrows Pooh, EVER. GREAT to be Colorado HOME! ❤️

Farm to Feet – 100% American Made Socks
Wanna keep it USA LOCAL with your socks? My CT bestie forwarded the preceding link. Pricier than your average WalMart tube socks but 100% comparable to SmartWool (my personal choice in running/hiking socks) – AND they’re USA made 🇺🇸
Subject: socks
From: Dawn
This one gets their wool from US source also (Smart Wool doesn’t).
Have you tried them? If so, how do they compare to Smart wool ones?
Oh, and I think the guy in the video may be a kindred spirit to you.
As always, wish we were closer because I miss you.
