The Parade of Lights is always a huge hit. We enjoyed this one ——he was advertising his backhoe business and had filled his bucket with all sorts of candy pieces. When he saw kids, he would drive over and tip the bucket so they could get out the candy.
I just adored their smiling and laughing faces!!!
Over 50 different entries. Amazing for a cold, cold night!
Parade of Lights! So magical and so festive!

Little TLC footprints!!! He travels here and there and everywhere.
They keep saying we are going to start melting soon.
Then it will be MUD season for a spell! 🙂
At least until another round of snow comes in!
Happy December, Everyone!

TLC and I don’t like the snow.
Nope! Too wet. Too Cold!
Also, neither one of us is taller than the snow.
The birds are having a hard time, too.
Mom keeps the feeders full, but the snow covers everything up.
So out she goes to fix them….I go with her.
TLC looks at us like we are STUPID!

We haven’t had snow like this for a long time. It’s pretty! Then there come marks in it.

THE COWS HAVE COME!!!
Exciting for us!
Delightful for the cows!
And the rancher is happy too!
They will bring in a few at a time. They are sorting out the keepers (they come here) and the spring’n heifers. (First time to be having a baby, cow)
YAY!

I changed my mind—- it’s snowing here….That photo was taken yesterday at about three.
BUT NOW!!!! Yep! It’s starting to snow!!!
Grand Mesa from a day or two ago
Sunset on the Paonia Mountain Range— I think they are called the West Elk Mountain Range (from my archives)
Those stunning San Juan Moutains taken in October (2024)
We drove up yesterday, onto the Uncompahgre Plateu (just behind us) and the snow was about here—this is from my archives. I forgot to take a photo.
Surrounded by Mountains we are 🙂

Right on cue, the December sky — turned to winter colors!
Welcome, December!

We are almost into December, once there, the stunning bold colors of the sky
Will turn into soft, cold colors.
Our last big ORANGE sunset.
Good bye-November! Good-bye!!!

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLF!
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!
Mom and I were outside. It was the dark time.
No Moon.
I had to pee….Yes, I did.
Suddenly, Mom and I heard
They are back! (Click on the blue link to hear how they sound)
I sang back to them a little tiny bit, then they sounded closer.
Mom told me, “Boo, Stop That! You aren’t big enough or strong enough to hold your own!”
Then she swooped down, grabbed me up, and took me into the house.
Shish!

P.S. That is short for postscript. Meaning I’m adding something else on to this: TLC was already in the house. Mom says he is no fool.
I wonder what she means by that?!
A Heart with the top rather sunken.
And a rather poor photo!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE!!!
