A repetitive pattern in the weather sets in this week, with little change day-to-day.

Starting Sunday, daytime highs will be around 90, continuing through Thursday. Overnight lows will be in the upper 50s.

Look for sunny days, and partly cloudy nights throughout the week.

The current forecast shows a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms Thursday evening in an otherwise dry week.

Friday starts a slight cooling trend, with a high in the mid-80s. Saturday will drop further, with the daytime high in the low 80s.

Survey by AARP Foundation ElderWatch Finds Four-out-of-Five Colorado Adults Have Donated to Charity, but only about Half are Properly Vetting Before Giving

A recent survey by AARP Foundation ElderWatch found that close to 80% percent of Colorado adults ages 18 and older made a charitable donation in the last twelve months. Though many are giving, the survey also found that most consumers don’t know how to verify a charity’s legitimacy.

Beginning two months ago Colorado Legal Services began partnering with Brownstein Hyatt Farber and Schreck to provide free brief legal consultations to low-income residents from Southeast Colorado by phone. This accessible and toll-free legal clinic can help residents of the 3rd (Huerfano, Las Animas), 15th (Baca, Prowers, Kiowa, Cheyenne) and 16th (Otero, Bent, Crowley) Judicial Districts get the help they need to navigate the legal challenges they and their families face.

You have to hand it to Windy. When Alphonse “Windy” Wilson chooses to speak, it is a bombastic sampling of creativity. Windy has yet to find a word he can’t make better through his own unique methods.

Well, what got him fired up the other day was a meeting of the ladies of the garden club down at the nursery. Windy’s been helping Dewey with his manure business on the one day a week he spends helping others. Today wasn’t a helper day, but he couldn’t pass up the audience.

They hadn’t gotten through old business when Windy stood, smiled, and spoke.
