Blizzard

Well, we almost made it to spring weather. Thursday the 26th we had a blizzard with white out conditions. We brought in wood, got extra food, and of course liquor. We spent two days trapped. Saturday we dug out. Then today we had another mini blizzard that lasted for about 4 hours so tonight we'll have to dig out again especially since I am working the next 3 days.

A little burst of springtime

Yesterday it was nice so we got to play outside. I did some beginning yard work. Still a little bit early. Lynn had to get on the tractor and work on the driveway. Had to share the beret pictures with you. I love his smile! His tractor we thought was made 1947, but when he ordered parts for it, we discovered that it was built in 1932. Back to the beret. There's a guy who writes for a motorcycle magazine, Emmit Salvadori. He's about our age and he writes especially about his trips. His trademark is his beret so Lynn decided to try one.

Hiking in the Hayman Fire Burn Area

On Tuesday we played hooky again. We decided to go to Lost Creek Wilderness Area. It's been at least 10 years since we have been there. In 2002 there was a huge forest fire (the biggest in Colorado History). Luckily, Lost Creek was spared. The picture is what it looked like on our way there. Once we got to Lost Creek it was beautiful like an oasis.
