The weather man

 

 

South Boulder, The Sawtooth range and the continental divide in the winter.  Deb (Frosty Thoughts) has to look at this everyday.

Milo and I took our usual morning walk today.  We stopped at the school house and raised the US flag.  When we were finished with the flag raising, we remembered our friends and relatives.  Thanks to all of our J-land friends for the names.  We continued past fire station #1.  There has been a crew cleaning up the mess left by the fire.  The building is now just three cinder block walls and a concrete floor.  We walked to the fork and stopped for a treat.  Milo gets a reward for being a good dog.  As we approached the corner we could hear the school bus.  Milo's tail started wagging.  Bob stopped the bus just long enough to give Milo a treat.

We have been in a good weather pattern for several years.  We use to get heavy spring snow storms followed by warm, almost hot, days of melting.  For the past few years, it has been small storms followed by pleasant days.  The good ol' weather man is forecasting  heavy moisture for the next 6 weeks.  Back to the days of heavy, wet snows for the foothills, rain on the plains.  He said there is a good chance for a heavy spring blizzard this year. No wonder people throw soda pop at him (You had to see the movie).  I just hope a pray the roof doesn't cave in!.

I mention this because the first storm is going to hit this weekend.  Just in time for the fund raising party on Sunday at Jack and Donna's.  When I talked to Donna today, she said, "That's OK, we're hearty mountain folks!"  I would have to agree with her. (I hope)  It could easily snow several feet.

Audie (MIL)finished her 10th Chemo therapy session today.  It's time for a vacation.  We'll send Harry and Audie off to Arizona for a couple of months.  Thank you for all of your prayers.
