It is nice to see the Colorado Rockies get out of the cellar of the NL West. 8 games out of first is not great, but being 3rd is better than last. Who knows, maybe they make another late season run again?

The thunder storms and rain last night was so nice, and the cool morning air felt very good. There is almost always at least a 30 degree temperature drop overnight from the daytime highs, and that makes our summers very pleasant in Colorado Springs. A little rain should encourage the wildflowers again, which make our meadows very colorful. The old ski town saying, "people come for the winters, but stay for the summers" is really true. I have yet to find anyone who leaves here because they did not enjoy our summers. Today's photo was taken last summer in Snowmass, I believe this is Capitol Peak? My son who lives there is the expert on the peak names, I just thought it was gorgeous!
