Mountains and (fast melting) Snow
Moon in Aries
For all my friends and family who wondered if we had gotten any snow! O yes, we did! On Alaska Road we got between 24 and 30 inches (depending on who’s telling the story).
First big snowfall came – wet, heavy and nonstop.
Lost internet.
Lost electrical power – generator powered up.
Food supplies held up (thank God we did not have to dig into the dreaded MREs).
Jerome, the mighty snowplow, reported for duty and plowed three times – what a champ!
Snow days found me digging into the family records. Totally absorbed into sorting out the family genealogy.
Have arrived in Seville, Spain, circa 1535.
Would you like to know more? I certainly do. Bleary eyed, the search continues!
Here are some “after the snowstorm” pictures I took from our car.

What a view you have, beautiful!
We had 24″ inches and Lakewood and it has melted to about 8″ in the shady places, otherwise we are looking a nice green lawn.

We’re lucky we live in Colorado!

Gorgeous pics. We got snow for about an hour in ABQ but it melted in five minutes.
Looks like a winter wonderland. How Beautiful
Jerome feels a bit unappreciated, as he plowed – magnificently – four rather than three times during the recent snowstorm.
Sorry Jerome that my count was off by one. My only excuse is that you performed so well that I took you for granted (and I was, after all in the 16th century with the ancestors).
Wow, Auntie, those are great pics! Thank you for sharing. You really do have a beautiful view of God’s creation. Love you, Joni
Hey Joni
Did you get much snow in Longmont? I took those pics on Saturday on our way back from Denver. The vista just took my breath away!

we stormed up quite a bit a couple of weeks ago out here in Califas…our largest Oct storm in 50 years….but now its mid-70′s to 80 degree and the hills are becoming emerald green from the rains…Happy Otono and our regards to your family in Seville….
We might be related!
Mystical, Indeed…
Very Beautiful! Stay warm….
I sent you an e-mail with an order. I hope it got there. Thanks!

Hi Bernadette -
I did get your order – thanks so much! I have been doing major research on family genealogy and have been caught in a time warp. Looking up this morning I find myself back in the 21st century and will get your order out. Thanks again and give our mutual NM friends a hug for me. I miss everyone!
