DH and I will be leading a drive for the car club in a couple of weeks, so we needed to drive the route ahead of time to be sure it is still a good route. Roads have a way of closing when you aren't prepared from winter rock slides. So, we got on the …

An Early Spring?
Mountain living in winter is usually not the time to see a lot of wildlife, so imagine my surprise in the middle of winter to see this sight in our lower meadow! A sizable flock of robins was stopping by for a visit. Get ready for a picture heavy post with lots of wildlife. Usually …
Scrappy Project part 2
This morning, the sun is shining on the snow, but I am still not going anywhere. Here is the driveway with about 4 inches of snow left. Nope, not going anywhere until more melting takes place. The sun should make the road passable by late afternoon today, but too late to go to work. Snow …
