Just another spring blizzard

Like jk said, the Colorado wing is snowed in. When life hands you lemons, make lemonade!

These pictures are a bit misleading. The snow around the house ranges from bare patches to 3 foot drifts, depending on where the wind left it. Out in the field it's about a foot deep all over. The 4-wheeler is just 2 wheel drive and I had trouble getting through in a few places.

Thanks for the snow tube aunt Leah!

Thanks for the pix, JB. NB is down in Texas these days doing what the 21st century demands for employment (have laptop, will travel), and misses the mountains, the snow, and the Three Sources of my personal strength; two of which look a great deal like the ones riding that sled.

I hope your Tejas assignment is as temporary as can be, NB. Being away from your spouse and worse yet, your kids, is one of the highest personal costs I know of.

I recently thanked an Air Force Lieutenant for his service - at DIA en route from D.C. to Warren AFB in Cheyenne - and asked him if he has a family. He did not. "It's because people like you do what you do that people like me can devote themselves to their family," I told him. I also apologized to him for his current commander-in-chief, but that's another story.
