Rainbows, butterflies and Rocky Mountain High



I have the best job in the world! After an amazing day with amazing people, I want to express my gratitude to all who helped make our second annual John Denver Celebration weekend possible and for those who made yesterday and today so memorable. We have one more day of the event – tomorrow is a Day of Education and Inspiration, but the inspiration definitely started today. I always knew Marsh Haven is a very special place – a “kindness magnet” as Larry Vine calls it, but today the magnet attracted even more kindness.
Marsh Haven is like a family, we care about each other. I know my many hours are appreciated by our volunteers and I appreciate all their hard work knowing that I could never do all this without them! It was so rewarding to look around the Respect Our Earth theater tonight to see so many people that I care about enjoying themselves, listening to the music, singing along, reliving old memories and hopefully creating new ones. There were also friends from far and wide and people that I had just met. We were all connected through the power of song and I am very grateful to the talented and kind Brad Fitch (that’s cowboybrad.com) for creating that opportunity and for sharing his time and talents with us.
What a rich and rewarding experience I get to have every day at Marsh Haven Nature Center and I am so very grateful for the people I have met and worked with that has made this experience even more enjoyable. Thank you for your time, your energy and what you bring to our world.

Not only did we have one of our last two monarchs eclose from their chrysalis today, but there was a rainbow without the rain just as the sun was setting.
