  • Bascio makes career out of...

     

    If it really was her last hurrah, then Monica Bascio can go out with her head held high. Why not. By a lot of people’s accounts they’re surprised that she was even competing in the first place.

  • Native flax have come into bloom

    It seems that we have had our one day of spring, and now it is summer. At least I have been working in the garden a bit, and it has been really warm. Fortunately, I didn’t trust the weather, so I didn’t put out the bedding plants I had purchased.

    Instead, I have been carrying them in and out every day so they haven’t gotten too pale and leggy or frozen, so I think tomorrow will be the day when they actually go into the garden.

    LAKEWOOD — Maura O’Brien barely had time to look at the runners in front of her because of the ones nipping at her heels. But maybe that was a good thing.

  • Wet weather may bring new birds...

    The snow falls in big fat globs of collected flakes. Wet and sticky, it is collecting rapidly on trees, shrubs and what few perennial herbaceous plants have had the nerve to put forth new shoots already.

    It is May, and one would expect to see May flowers blooming, but alas, they are not. At least they are not blooming in any numbers. This is our seventh month of winter, and I am not happy to see more snow falling. However, such weather is expected in springtime Colorado where cold arctic air bumps into warm Gulf Coast air fairly regularly.

  • Evergreen track team shattering...

     

          Bryn Haebe didn’t know why. Maybe it really was the running gods that told Rob Wright to alter what up to this point had been a pretty successful season for Evergreen High School’s girls 4x800 relay team.

  • Longmont’s 7-run 8th...

     

    HIGHLANDS RANCH — Tom Aramovich always smiles when he’s on the mound. No matter if the bases are loaded and the odds are stacked against his team Aramovich, the senior pitcher from Evergreen High School, seems to keep smiling.

    But after his team lost to Longmont on May 15 by a 12-7 score in eight innings, Aramovich’s smile wasn’t so bright.

  • Spring beauties signal season...

    It is a lovely May morning. A half-inch of sugar snow covers the rapidly greening world like frosting on a cake. The sky is blue, the sun is out and the snow is already melting.

    Branches, twigs and leaves are dripping diamonds. It is a glorious sight to behold, refreshing to smell the damp earth and exhilarating to hear the spring medley of migrating birds at the feeder and the burbling music of Little Cub Creek in the valley below.
