While standing at the corner of the alfalfa field and the newly planted alfalfa field, if one turns toward the east and a little to the south those magnificent wonderful San Juan Mountains shine forth.

Today they are full of snow—winter has come for those who live there and water for those whose lakes and streams flow down, down, down.

Silent, beautiful, and full of snow.

(P.S. There is snow on Grand Mesa, and the mountains around Paonia.  Snow!  Water! Winter!)
