I’ve mentioned before of a small bakery in Old Town, one of those places I have come to patronize. It’s name is Little Bird Bakeshop. It has that European feel to it, which is a draw for me. I sometimes pass by as ride my bicycle to Old Town for my morning exercise and a latte. There are table outside are on the north side so they receive nice shade on a summer morning and throughout the day. I patronize this shop because it’s locally owned, offers some very nice pastries, cappuccinos, lattes, is a nice respite in the shade and, as you can see in this image, some mornings you’ll find nice legs.

A Bagel and Smile
A welcoming smile can sure start the day right. I had two special smiles on ‘sunday morning. First I stopped at a local coffeehouse where one of my favorite baristas, Myra, greeted me with her smile. Dang, makes me wish I wasn’t old enough to be her grandpa. 🙂
The next smile you’ll find at Rocky Mountain Bagel Works in Fort Collins. As you come in the door a hallway leads you to Brittany, or one of her co-workers, who greets you with a smile and warm welcome. Once you recover from her smile you must now decide what you want from the menu. An assortment of bagel flavors and cream cheeses, breakfast or lunch bagel sandwiches, coffee, lattes, smoothies. 🙂 It is a great way to start your day and fits the small budget and they’re local!

Thoughts and Ideas
“Dreams and restless thoughts came flowing to him from the river, from the twinkling stars at night, from the sun’s melting rays. Dreams and a restlessness of the soul came to him”

Reading
“What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet or excite you. Books help us understand who we are and how we are to behave. They show us what community and friendship means; they show us how to live and die.”
Anne Lamott
