Springtime in the Rockies

Wow, I read my last entry and did not realize it has been two weeks since I last wrote.  I hope that everyone had a nice Easter.  We went to services on Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and then to the late service in the chapel on Easter as I had Altar Guild clean up after that service.  We came home and then went out to eat.  It rained most of the day.  Beginning of last week was pretty nice and then on Thursday it rained most of the day and then turned to snow in the late afternoon and evening and then kept snowing until sometime Saturday evening.   Some guy had told Dennis on about Wednesday that they were predicting around 3 feet for the snowstorm that was coming and we didn't think it would be that much, but it was or close to it.  Power went out for a couple of hours on Friday afternoon and then came back on.  Then around 5:30 or so it went out again and stayed out until Sunday afternoon. ...

Winter in Spring

Well, for about the last week and a half we have been having spring snows.  As one weather forecaster put it, "we are now having the winter we never had".  February and most of March were very mild.  Then, a week ago last Thursday, we had a big storm.  We got 12 or 13 inches, but some areas got more.   Dennis was supposed to fly out to a NCRS board meeting but his flight was canceled twice and then on Friday morning he was able to get out.  He didn't miss any of the meeting.  Then last Monday and Wednesday we had a couple more snows, although not as much.  We definitely needed the moisture.  Saturday we got some more.  The roads were really slick going to church yesterday.  It was the first I had been to church in several weeks.  Finally seems like I am getting over this thing, but still not feeling quite like normal yet.  Need to get strength and energy back.  Still cough some but that seems to be getting better, too. ...
