Lovely description of a “magical”place Karen. The beauty, the events, the wildlife, and mostly the people. Unfortunately tragedy touches us all and I am sorry for the awful gun violence that you experienced. Yet I am grateful that neighbors pulled together with love, kindness, support and supplies to ease the pain just a little.

Thanks for the words of comfort Wendy. It definitely takes a village to help us get by when times are tough!

I was fortunate enough to visit Evergreen, CO last year for a writing retreat. It was September and the air smelled so fresh and so clean. The log 'cabin' we stayed at had incredibly beautiful views. We even had a fox visit us a few times. It is definitely a peaceful little mountain town. Your description brought my memories of your hometown back to life.

Thank you for making sure we get a more holistic view of Evergreen -- not just the recent sad headlines -- and what makes you committed to being part of it.
