Four Hussies minus Connie (is she EVER coming home?...we miss her!) took a flat hike at Pella Crossing, one of the Boulder County Open Space Parks. We trekked only 3 miles, but saw lots of birds, geese, ducks and a couple of avians that looked suspiciously like herons...or so we imagined. Other pleasures included gorgeous views of Meeker and Longs Peak, a rooster serenade and the unexpected appearance of a black squirrel. As usual, we were treated to Carol's hard boiled eggs and a variety of other Hussie delicacies. After such a strenous hike, we headed to Niwot for lunch at the Garden Gate Cafe. It was a lovely day!

This community's name stems from a time when it had a sanitarium to work with tuberculosis patients. The sanitarium was started in 1882 Jacob S. Flory and his Church of the Brethren, who had come to the area a few years earlier to work with tuberculosis patients.

As usual, the Hussies had to instruct Hussie Wannabes in the art of Hussiedom.
