Late Spring In Washington Park


I went for a walk with my sister Susan through Denver's Washington Park several days ago. This was a pretty big deal, since Susan is slowly recovering from a bad fall and has been limited in her walking. The park was pretty lively, filled with retirees, students, mothers with small children, and, I suspect, a lot of work from home types who don't actually work very much (on this Elon Musk and I agree). I was happy to see that even on a weekday, the rental bike and paddle boat booth was open for business, and a few intrepid souls were out on Smith Lake. And as usual, the afternoon storm clouds began to appear, once again threatening rain. It has been like Seattle here the last couple of months, with rain storms every day. Of course, once the rain finally stops, it will stop for quite a while, and within days we will once again be hearing about our severe drought conditions. On the plus side, that means great biking weather. A silver lining behind every dark cloud, as we used to say.
