Wind

Well, the temperatures are back in the 40's & 50's. But the wind this morning is crazy! It may blow in some snow... but I think it will skip over us and go east to the wide open plains. It's still about 40 degrees here at 4 am. LOL, T just left for work... No, I don't normally get up this early. I just wanted to check the road advisories to be sure no roads he'll be on are closed yet. It gets that windy here! All is well, and I'm back off to bed. I have to go to work this morning too.

Ahh the sun!

The sun is finally out and has melted the snow and ice from my driveway. It's back in the 50's ... where it should be. Now if i need snow I can go to the mountains. I see I really need to wash the vehicles now.

a hiking we will go!

hiked to a lake on Thursday. it was foggy at our house but as we went up in elevation the warm sun came out. Got to the park... a balmy 48 degrees up here. Hey, it's warmer up here than at my house! Guess heat does rise! We go into the park and go to our selected area to hike. T's not feeling up to a long monster of a hike so we pick a shorter one. It ends up being good. as we started in on our hike, the wind picks up and the storm clouds blow over the mtns. we get to the lake and have lunch. as we sit there watching the clouds race over the jagged peak in front of us. We notice snow flakes starting to fall. we sit for a few more minutes talking about how easy it looks to just zig zag up the mountain this way and that and we can be at the top no problem... yeah, sure. we know it's a lot farther when you get up in there! well, time to walk back down the hill.

work work work

last week we started working 4 10's. 3 days off in a row.... it's like a mini vacation every week. So now Wednesday through Friday is my weekend. I felt so guilty on this last wednesday for not going to work. It felt wrong, off kilter somehow. Thursday and Friday are my regular off days. T and I went to the mountains on those days. This week should be better... less guilt as my new schedule sets in...
