We got hit with a HUGE storm two days ago. Normally in the boring part of Colorado, we get a snowstorm that dumps a few inches on the ground, makes it a pain to drive anywhere because everyone seemed to forget how to drive in snow and ice, and then the snow goes away in a day or two under the bright Colorado sun with only a few crusty patches left in the shade. (For those of you who think Colorado is nothing but snow all of the time, this is generally not true. We're in a high desert area...only the mountains keep some snow year-round if it isn't a drought season.)

However...this storm was one of those exceptions.

We got two feet worth of snowy goodness at my home. There was a huge overhang on the roof and a nice big drift in the back yard and LOTS of snow everywhere else. It was enough to keep me working from home for a day or two because I am not as crazy about driving through through drifts and dodging crazier drivers as I used to be. Still, I shoveled a lot trying to keep up with the stuff, thinking I would be able to leave my house when Mother Nature turned off the snow blower and the sun came back out, but it kept on snowing...for two days straight. I gave up shoveling after a while - the arms and back can't take that kind of punishment like they used to when I was younger.

Hopefully we won't have another big one like this for a while!


On another note, since show season is here, I have been very busy wrapping more pretties. I hope to have more photos up for you soon if I get the time. Otherwise, please excuse me...I'll otherwise be lurking a bit over the next few weeks.
