The winter has been so beautiful here this year and last Sunday when it was 78 degrees with trees and flowers beginning to bloom we ate breakfast on the patio and went on a two hour hike. Then on Wednesday the 25
th I drove Sean and Austin to the airport and the news reported a blizzard warning for Thursday. I kind of chuckled and I took this picture in our backyard of a tree blooming when I got home on this beautiful day.
Then I get up on Thursday morning and by 11:00 am this is what it looks like. I found it hard to capture with a picture how sometimes all I could see out the window was a blanket of white. I was excited to watch this out the kitchen window while I was cutting veggies for a soup I made in the crock pot that day. However I was worried for Scott who was at work and decided to leave at 1:00 when the whole metropolitan Denver area was closing down for the Blizzard. Schools, malls and Highways where closed and over 400 flights canceled. It took Scott 3 hours to drive 13 miles home. He arrived safely though. Just in time to shovel our huge corner lot sidewalk. Good thing Sean and Austin flew out the day before!
When I first opened the door Millie disappeared in the snow and popped out back into the house. So, I had to shovel a path for the dogs to get to get to the yard. The snow sure piled up fast. They did have fun running around in it though.
So Friday ended up a snow day too for most (except Scott) and by 11 am the sky was clear blue and the beautiful white snow was blinding. Kids were out everywhere with their sleds and boards. I took the pictures below of the dogs chilling in the snow only 2 hours after the snow ended Friday morning. The weather here is very fickle, not a place for someone who doesn't like change or not knowing what tomorrow will be like.
