| Day 37 Photo Album |
October 9, 2009
The sun came out to light up our lives today, giving a bit of warmth. Not too much though. As my sister had the day off, I departed for Boulder to stay the night with her before moving on. Approaching Boulder the smog seemed to hang over town burning my eyes. Heavy clouds are hanging around too.
We took a drive up above Boulder into Flagstaff Park. This is part of Boulder County’s open space program. The county is very serious about buying up open spaces and keeping them that way. There is a small amphitheater near the summit for the public’s use. A couple were preparing for their wedding ceremony as we arrived. We decided to crash the wedding and hung around for a while. It was about 45 degrees and the women were bare-shouldered and high-heeled; many people wearing black. Hmmmm. Tourists joined us in our curiosity as we watched the beginning of the ceremony. The wedding party didn’t seem to mind; I think this is a very Boulder event.
There are wonderful views of Boulder from above, and the smog doesn’t live up here.
We shared our evening with her two cats, or they shared their space with us. Very amusing creatures who seem to wonder at many of our habits and remind us that eating, sleeping and getting someone to brush and scratch you in the right place are the most important things.
The snow began to fall after dark and it seems I’m facing some decisions tomorrow: to begin my journey through Kansas in freezing rain or wait it out. It is difficult to accept the fact that it is snowing.
