Friday Five
Why not do a little websurfing to ease into your Friday? Here are links to five (plus one) local blogs of interest:
The Family Trailhead: The adventures of "a Colorado family that tries to get outside as much as possible."
New Belgium: Yeah, it's about beer and beer stuff. And life.
Epicurean Vegan: Tasty recipes, even for a carnivore like me.
Visionary Healthcare: Dr. Rulon Stacey is CEO of Poudre Valley Health System...who knew he also has time to blog?
Old Firehouse Books and The Matter Bookstore: (I couldn't choose just one.) Great places in old town to pick up some books and a sense of community.
If you have a local blog to recommend, leave a comment!

Last week's photo was of artist Laura Audrey's Foot Bridge on Drake Road between Taft Hill Road and Dunbar Street.
