The Greatest thing about Colorado

.....is that if you don't like the weather, wait 15 minutes, it will change.  It's hard to believe, but trust me, the second you don't believe it will happen you will go out in shorts and get caught in a blizzard.  This past week had demonstrated this phenom perfectly!

Last weekend we were hit with a big blizzard over the weekend.  Even down in  Denver we got about a foot of snow in the course of about 8 hours.  I love blizzard days and it was really fun to sit inside and watch the snow fall.  My toddler got stir crazy very quickly so Bob bundled her up and sent her out in the snow.







They must have had fun because they were out there for a good 45 minutes.  I was regaled with stories once she came back in.  All about snow angels, snowballs, footprints and snowflakes.  The cold doesn't phase her one little bit and I am sure she would stay out in the snow and cold until she was blue before choosing to come inside.  Toddlers are just so fun.


In true Colorado fashion, it was blizzarding on Saturday and by Wednesday the snow was gone and it was a warm 70 degrees.  Thursday we were all practically in shorts.  Of course the higher temps don't last for long here in this end of Winter season, but we are still enjoying the 50's, with snow forecasted again.

The warm weather brought us a surprise visit from Traci and her sister Mallory.  It would seem that Mallory may be making the move out to Denver which simply delights me with the prospect of seeing Traci, Tyler and her family more often.  We enjoyed catching up over dinner on Friday and sharing a cup of coffee on Saturday.  It was short and sweet, but any time spent in the Colorado beauty with a few of my favorite people is time well spent!
