On April 26 I blogged about the flood mitigation work ongoing at Glen Eyrie. The work was hampered some by snow and rain, but I am happy to share some new pictures of the green green grass of (this) home.
We are starting Memorial Day weekend, and the weather is just gorgeous.
There are weddings, graduations, and memories of those who have gone before us. It is good to be in this place of quiet memory of a man with a vision, namely William Jackson Palmer, who built this place for his home.
For the protection of the Almighty, to preserve this place for its current function.
For the insight of the Navigators, who share this place with the public; for retreats, contemplation, rest, and restoration.
A quiet place in a busy world. Even the animals know this and some come here to graze and rest.
Our tenure here will end on June 2, after which we shall return to our home in Johnston, Iowa for most of the summer.
On our past day off, we went to Pueblo. Here we enjoyed great day of relaxing as well. Walking the river walk, enjoying the down town area and relaxing for a cup of coffee. The river walk also commemorated Medal of Honor recipients, as well as service members of all branches of the military.
A nice prelude to this Memorial Day weekend.
