This is what Boulder waits for every year–the opening of  the Farmer’s Market on Wednesday evenings. We love the Saturday market too, but Weds nights are really special: less people, delicious food, great veggies and fruits, live music, food, & drink. Family-friendly event. It’s highly recommended! More information here. [Weds. 4:00 to 8:00pm]

Spring is the beginning of so many new things–garden planting, repairing buildings, bringing baby animals into the world– and that was true for ranch families in the Victorian days also.
