the sound of rotating wheels

I love that feeling of a bike riding on a paved bikeway. We followed along a tiny stream called the Blue River, in which trout fishermen, neatly spaced, seemed to haul up trout with some frequency. Other bikers, more devoted to exercise than to soaking in alpine air and gentle riding, pass saying "on your left". We stopped at the Gold Hill trailhead to the Colorado Trail, chained up the rental bikes, and walked among fields of fading flowers and tall pines.A tiny yellow finch landed in the tree just above us. We saw the rose hips on plants that must be something much like wild rose.

The local free historical museum had old photos of people standing by snow tunnels. I thought of all the things that I do and could do and don't do and couldn't do, and then on my walk back to our hotel, I dropped the bottle of special raspberry jam my wife got at the Farmer's Market.

Are you now in the dog house?

It sounds as though you had a really good afternoon. I know you did not intend to drop the jam, accidents do happen so don't beat yourself up over it. Perhaps you can get her some raspberry jam at another time:)?

The farmer's market where we got the jam was so cool! the women who sold it had brisk German accents,and it looked so tasty! But I was despatched later that afternoon to return things to the hotel room while my wife hit some shops and WHAM! I dropped it. I looked all over town for more but I could only find some Wyoming home=made. Fortunately, no dog house appeared

It was a great afternoon, and I did find a replacement jam.

I am not a fly fisherman, and it was a much tamer stream than in "A River Runs through It', but it looked fascinating.

in Breckinridge, so perhaps not as cool, but it helps me get an idea about Boulder :)
