The national food holiday may seem all about free donuts on the surface, but its roots date back to World War I. National Donut Day, first celebrated in 1938 in Chicago, honors the Salvation Army's Donut Lassies — a group of women volunteers who baked and delivered donuts to soldiers on the front lines during World War I.  According to the Salvation Army, the Donut Lassies are credited with popularizing donuts in the United States after troops returned from Europe.  The holiday is celebrated each year on the first Friday in June.   Krispy Kreme Swing by Krispy Kreme on Friday to snag a free donut of any flavor with no purchase necessary.  If one just isn't enough, the chain is also offering a dozen original glazed donuts for just $2 when you buy any dozen.  Dunkin' Dunkin' is bringing ...

Greenfield is located in Centennial, with some of this neighborhood in the City of Aurora.    It is located off Arapahoe Road & Picadilly in the South part of the Metro Denver area.   It is located in Cherry Creek School District, which is just one reason this neighborhood is popular! I like to stay on top of the statistics for the community, and nice to review the numbers every month, or at least every quarter.   Most months there are just one or two sales.   For  April, there were five sales.   For this size of the neighborhood, we don't usually see many homes go up for sale in Greenfield or Greenfield Estates.    Here's what happened in Greenfield & Greenfield Estates in April 2025 -Total Sales - 5 homes sold priced from $555,000 to $845,000 Days on Market - 29 daysList Price to Sold...

If you take your dogs or cats for a walk outdoors these days, you should check your pet after the walk to ensure they don't have any ticks.   There was an instance where a family took their dog to the dog park, and then the dog had a vet appointment, and the vet found SEVEN ticks on the dog.Luckily, the ticks in Colorado do not usually carry the Lyme Disease that is so dangerous, but in a few occasions, a tick has left an animal unable to move.VERY important to check your pet after they have enjoyed an outdoor activity!
