May starts off with a some great activities and neighborhood experiences for the whole family. Denver-ites don’t miss a beat even if the forecast is calling for a little chill of (and what? a chance of snow!!). Springtime in Colorado is a beautiful and distinct season where temperatures can be in the 70′s one day and 50′s the next. Get out and enjoy the gorgeous blossoming trees, lower pollen counts (thanks to the cooler temps) and these fantastic events:
Saturday, May 1, 2010 – Happy May Day! Does anyone celebrate May Day leaving baskets of flowers on people’s porches? Once upon a time, a long time ago, there was a May Day tradition of leaving a basket of flowers on someone’s front porch, ringing the doorbell and running off in hopes of being chased down by the owner to receive a kiss in thanks for the gift. Hmmm, I don’t see that happening these days so I leave you with a snapshot of a blooming tree I took the other day… imagine a bell ringing… o.k…. you can kiss me later.
Another May 1st tradition is Elitch Garden’s Opening Day. The amusement park is celebrating a milestone this year…. Happy 120th Elitch’s.
It’s also Free Day at the Denver Art Museum.
