Got a foot and a half, its over my boots, over my knees, our trails will pack and firm up in a few days, but in the meanwhile, it's this beautiful fluffy Colorado powder (sorry, Ruth....) Amber, thanks for writing! Getting the picture of the hawk was quite a story in itself. We saw it in the snag above the reservoir, and Bob drove the old red Blazer as I was hanging out the passenger side with the door open, holding on with one hand, and the camera in the other. Some day I will get one of those fancy cameras with the big zoom lenses, but in the meanwhile, I just try to get as close as I can! And Don, once again, I so love your stories, thank you for sharing... Will share pix of the snow tomorrow... I think Forrest is getting some up on Facebook right now. What a wonderful day!

I love the way everything looks frosted and glazed... and silent. Morning chores in pre-dawn hush are theraputic! We got our first 1/2 foot on Saturday and another predicted tomorrow.

Sometimes we were without power for a month at a time . We lived at the top of a steep hill .So the car was left in a shed at the bottom and we would go up and down in a old 8n ford tractor with chains pulling a littlt closed trailer .If the sream beside the road flooded we had a old about 1938 chev dump truck that set high and we would leave it at the bottom .People no days would think we were crazy . We had a huge barn and that was where all 5 of us kids played all winter .I was the oldest so my job was the animals .It was a hard but good life .When it was too bad to get in to church on saturdays and weds nights we would have our own . Our services were simple mostly just giving thanks for what we had and being together .I know you know more than me about your mountain but be careful keep writing . I am looking forward to your pictures Your Friend DON Its been a long time sense i have been snowed in .We were always ready .Lots of lamp oil candles books to read and games to play .Being at the end of the power lines we were the first to go and the last to get fixed .
