Friday night a storm started blowing in
The moon once clear, but with a halo, became fuzzy with clouds
By morning we were in a series of storms
The clouds grey and vaporous, dark and wraithlike
The wind pushing them along in a haunting song of winter’s lullaby
The wind was so sharp and cold it could peel your skin
All around the storm’s outriders turned the world to grey and then white
The wind howled and the rain fell flat and stinging
But by evening the lashing storm had spent itself, moving onward to other parts of the land
The clouds turned to gold and the air filled with sunshine.
Although, we are cold today…the day is beautiful; singing a much different song then yesterday!
From my heart to your world,
Linda

By the time the storm passed over the Rockies, we got 1.5 inches of sweet fluffy snow. Then the sun shone again later in the day. It was prettiest in your photos.

What a day! So many changes…great photos following them. Funny how the sun came out so beautifully just as it was almost time for it to disappear for the day. That often happens on rainy days in Oregon too.

ah (like the beatles’ song) yesterday. axually not so bad here — got in a desert bike ride with and for the dogs before the ground softened up (yesterday) — and, as you know (well, I sort of assume we have much of “the same weather”) a bit more of the white stuff this a.m. still hasn’t melted off, yet. life’s in limbo today, Betty has arranged for a bit of house-remodeling (a new bedroom floor) so, hence, the limbo. do you read/see The Denver Post? yesterdaze feature article on the drought in our state, with pixures of a ranching couple in Whitewater, of all places ~

I went over and read it. Whitewater is pretty dry anyway…and the guy is on gravel company land, which means that can be pretty sad soil. Anyway, we are really wet here (as in mud) and the last we heard the snow-pack at Taylor and on Grand Mesa is shaping up to be decent this coming irrigation season. March in those places always seems to be the time of the most snow fall. Although…..only time will tell, because there was a huge amount that has to be made up FIRST!

thanx 4 thinkin’ that, but that job was just another case of being in the right? place @ the wrong time — the employer (Gun. County Assessor) had, i’m fairly sure, decided to offer the appraiser job to the next person who walked into the office looking for work …

tellya about it sum day … that sorta thing happened to me more than just once or twice. I left THAT job for a couple reasons, one of which was the Gunnison County Republican Chairman decided I was to be considered for the party nominee for Assessor next election. I decided then and there to go back to college (I hadn’t “finished”/graduated yet). You/me/whoever sometimes wonders about the “path not taken.” What IF? I had become G. County Assessor? I can’t help but chuckle at the weeee-urd-nous uvvittawl ~
