Sunny Saturday.....

The view from the back deck Saturday morning....doesn't GrpaG make nice designs in the snow with the tractor??

Red in the morning....

The sunrises have been so beautiful with the clouds and the bright colors. We have had lots of wind during the day. Remember the old saying, Red in the morning, sailors take warning...it must be true in the ranch country too!

Chris is keeping the snowblower going regularly. It was -15 degrees this morning Brrr....every time the wind blows it drifts the roads and sidewalks in deeper. We dig it out and pile it on the side and it gives a deeper edge to fill in with snow.

Frosty and foggy....

The sunrise was so "grand" this morning....the fog is rolling in from the right and the clouds are moving steadily to the left. Only the mountain tops are peeking out. It is 9 degrees, so covering up a bit seems wise!!

Notice the little caps of snow on top of the fence posts still and the snow on the east side of the bell. The wind hasn't blown them off yet. Our deck is 3 steps up and the snow we have pushed off is even with the floor.

This is the view from the front of the house where Grpa G is pushing the snow back for company. I love the way the snow "frosts" the haystacks and the rocky hills.

More Saturday pictures

The snow DOES make everything pretty.

I had some neat videos of the feeding and Grpa G plowing snow, but blogger won't take them tonight.
The antelope were along the road by the thousands....I am NOT exaggerating!! They are having trouble finding food as the snow was really wet, and froze in hard and crusty. they will be migrating west towards the river as soon as the snow is not so deep.

We have company coming through Monday so wanted to get some of the snow moved back before it gets packed in too hard.

One Snowy Week Later....

I had to go out and brush the snow off the sattellite dish so I could get a signal for the internet....what a beautiful day, if you don't have to get out on the highway! I wonder if we will be able to make it 100 miles to the east for a special meeting there tomorrow.

Some random photos....

This is the view from my back deck this morning. It is typical special mtg weather...we could go 150 miles to the north, or 150 miles to the east tomorrow. We decide by checking the road report. This is usually the week we really start getting snow in Wyoming!! Some years we just have to stay home because of the weather.

Can you remember what fun a big box is to play in?? This one has become a house with doors and windows to look out of. When it is off the rug, it even becomes a "mobile home", it slides around wherever you want to go!! I should clarify, that it is NOT Grpa and Grma that are crawling into the house....it is Fischer!

I can't believe that we only took 1 picture when we visited Jeff and family this week. This one is thanks to Grpa G.
