Will it snow? Nobody knows! I knew when Spring was rolling in there would be lots more happening around town but I think I forgot how big Jeffco is. We have a lot to do around here! I'm not complaining - it's very cool we have such a vibrant slate of activities going on around town. And these events don't even count the endless beautiful outdoors we get to explore in our backyard. We're so fortunate. I hope this finds you well, and excited for nice weather. --- ## 🏑 Looky Loo Where I poke around our local real estate market to highlight fun finds - great deals, astronomical mansions or killer mountain cabins. This one really jumped out at me - the interior of this Golden home is just spectacular. It's a [$1.935m 5BD, 3.5BA home](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1943-Columbine-Ct%5FGolden%5FCO%5F80401%5FM17631-69487?ref=jeffcocrew.com) up in the hills, but holy cow is it tastefully put together. [![](https://jeffcocrew.com/content/images/2025/04/9b613cb84aa64fa5bc4bd7491f305625l-m656159981rd-w2048_h1536.webp)](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1943-Columbine-Ct%5FGolden%5FCO%5F80401%5FM17631-69487?ref=jeffcocrew.com) This thing is just lovely. And then, we've got this [$1.9m 3BD, 4BA home](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/682-Buddy-Rd%5FBailey%5FCO%5F80421%5FM15562-67904?ref=jeffcocrew.com) out in Bailey, that kind of has it all when you're just looky-looing. It starts off with a really clean, modern vibe (similar to above), and transitions into a very Asian-inspired feel that you don't see very often. And then... it just starts to get *weird*. Highly recommend hitting all the photos.

This feels like a pretty killer family event - if the weather holds out. ### πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ Time to Register, Runners I tore my achilles tendon in January and couldn't have surgery so I'm on a long recovery path, but otherwise I'd be signing up for some races right now. It's a fool's errand to try and share all the races we have in the front range, but this is your reminder to look around and get them on your calendar. Maybe the [Unicorn 5k](https://www.coloradorunnermag.com/event/unicorn-5k-denver/?ref=jeffcocrew.com) in Denver or the [SOAR 5k](https://runsignup.com/Race/Info/CO/Golden/WelchesterSOAR5k?ref=jeffcocrew.com) \- both in about two weeks?
