Here we are in the beautiful Arkansas Valley with July 4th just one day away. As of this writing we have had small rain showers almost every afternoon. The forest is bursting with color from all the many wild flowers scattered through lush green grasses. Our mountains are full of life and boast healthy trees so different than many parts of the state where the Mountain Pine Beetle has wrecked havoc leaving a trail of dead behind it. Yes, this is Colorado at its best. As the campers roll in and the traffic picks up, there is even more of a bustle about this little town that promotes healthy lifestyle and genuine people.
Salida, Colorado is gearing up for its annual fireworks display guaranteed to thrill all of us locals.
Is it the largest? No.
Is it the longest? No.
Is it the most spectacular? No, but for those of us who have lived here year after year scratching out a life full of bountiful blessings, it is fitting. We may not be the largest most spectacular place on the face of this planet, but we are happy and thankful to be celebrating this day and the freedom our fore fathers fought for.
