Mothers Day May 11

Elizabeth having tea with Grandma.

Drilling holes in the bottom of a pot for mom's mothers day plant.

Strawberries are coming on in the greenhouse.

The windows are so caked with snow this Sunday that we can't see out any direction.  All the roads from Utah to Cheyenne are closed.  Chris had company, so we had a nice mtg this morning.  No one from away from here could come.

To Chris and Kate's for lunch.  Drifts are above my boot tops.  :(

George still in his Sunday clothes shutting off ditches.  Lots of water in this snow, things freeze shut and flood, so this is and ounce of prevention.

My tulips....the second time they've been snowed on in the past 2 weeks.

Chris cooked prime rib for Mother's Day lunch.  DEEE--licious!!

The snow is drifting along the irrigation ditches as we go to turn them off.  Pretty soon it will start caving off.  George had to mention that we don't have cell service right here, and if we slid off into the water we would probably drown or get hypothermia.  I had already thought of that and tried NOT to think about it if I could help it!!
The next 2 pictures are 2 weeks later...May 25.  Wyoming people and plants have to be very hardy!  Same place, different day!

Enjoyed sharing your pictures of recent months. I love the colorful umbrellas. They look so un-Wyomingish - and right now that is a good thing (we are a little weary of snow on May 12 - and we don't have near as much as you have from this last storm) Karen W.

What fun to sit and catch up with what you've been doing. The beautiful pictures of Elk Mountain made me a little homesick for Wyoming. :)I hope your tulips are tough enough to stay alive until the snow stops! Wonder when you would have to come back from Florida in order to completely avoid bad weather in Wyoming...July? :)

Good to catch up with you this eve. It was also nice to be in meeting with you folks a while back. I were visiting Lisa when this last storm hit...nice 90* weather there. :-)
