Spring Break

We're back from snowy Colorado ~ another crazy trek across America.  85 miles per hour for 5+ hours = the state of Nebraska.  It's a great big honkin' flat farmland of a state.  But it was the warmest our break was...
Dillon, Colorado had snow every day of our trip ~ and gray overcast days.  Kinda reminded me of Ohio.  Mom and I did get to ski one day.  ABSOLUTELY beautiful and sunny blue sky morning at A-Basin.  It was great to ski in 6 inches of powder in April!  I love to ski and wish I could do it more often (and that it wasn't so expensive...I'm spoiled with the free A-Basin tix)
Our planned trip to South Dakota's Badlands-Mount Rushmore-Crazy Horse was SNOWED out.  We woke up Thursday morning ready to go, only to see that a SNOW STORM had closed the road from Boulder to Cheyenne.  (And we found out later 70 was closed at the tunnel, so we wouldn't have gotten very far if we'd tried to go.)  That's time #2 that trip has be cancelled as we were going to go last summer.  I wonder if we'll ever make it there...

We came home on Saturday morning to 70+ temperatures.  My gardens are starting to bloom.

It was the only warm day of the weekend.  Easter was rainy and cool and today is rainy and cool.  Guess what they are calling for tomorrow.  Surprise rainy and a little warmer.  Until Thursday, when it'll be rainy and colder.  To quote a facebook post I saw, With all these April showers, "we ought to have a crap load of may flowers this year."   Here's to the crapload!
