Today's weather was wonderful: a bright blue, cloudless sky and nice moderate temperatures.
Our day started with going to the John Denver Sanctuary for "Meet and Greet". Mary and I walked among the boulders and reflected back on our past visits.
The event started a bit late as people mingled and got re-acquainted with friends from prior years. Eventually we had 5 guitars playing a few John Denver songs. About 60 people were at the event, a bit fewer than prior years, but still pretty well attended. Even the construction workers building a new wetlands within the Sanctuary silenced their equipment while we sang our songs. 
Our next stop was the Maroon Belles. Who could resist going there on such a beautiful day? When we arrived the wind was calm and you could see a full reflection of the mountains in Maroon Lake. We walked around to the other side of Maroon Lake. It was so warm we took our coats off. 
Tonight we have the Mollie Weaver concert at 8:00. She has a beautiful voice and will be accompanied by Bob Sirois. Should be a great way to wrap up this day.
