And what is so rare as a day in June?
Then, if ever, come perfect days…
James Russell, 1848
Golden is pretty at any time of the year, but it is exceptional right now…everything is green, the temperatures are moderate, and the creek is roaring high. I hope you can get out and enjoy it. It’s a great time for a walk along the creek.
