This is one of those days. It makes you remember why you live in Colorado.
I woke up early this morning to take part in the Memory Walk to end Alzheimer's. My good friend Renee's mom suffered from Alzheimer's before she passed and every year family and friends join her to honor and remember her mom. My mom and I joined them this year.
It was the perfect morning. Bright, clear blue skies. Just a light breeze reminding you that it is September. As we drove down Colorado Blvd. toward City Park, we passed trees just starting to turn color.
But the day just got better. These days are the ones Coloradans wait for every fall. The ones where you reach for your shorts, glad you haven't packed them away yet. The ones where you find yourself excited to get out the door to run your errands because you know you'll have your windows down playing Tom Petty's Free Falling. These days carry us through the winter. We know these days are only here for a few fleeting weeks - but we savor them while they are here.
And tomorrow, it is supposed to be more of the same. Another perfect Colorado day.
