BLIZZARDING

We woke up to blizzard conditions this morning in Vail...about 4 or 5 inches accumulated, Vail pass was closed for awhile...then we drove to Breck/Silverthorne and now it is snowing here as well. It has rained every day we've been here, some days just off and on, others all day. We had a wonderful storm Monday night with lots of lightning and thunder and I love that, particularly in the mountains where the rumble of thunder echos through all the canyons.

It has been a restful vaction...not doing much. We're living on cheese and crackers, cold cereal, bacon and eggs, and lots of fresh Colorado fruit. The Rocky Ford melons and Colorado peaches are wonderful. I don't know if we'll be able to get any to bring home or not. The peaches are small at the City Market in Vail and are about 50 cents apiece. Pricey like everything else.

I see the Mystery Blogger is at work and some of the rest of you have also helped out. I appreciate that.

I'll be home Sunday....so you all have to keep everything going until then.

I only have this computer for a few minutes...it's very old and keeps crashing...so I'm out of here.

The mountains are beautiful, the air is fresh and invigorating....lovely place to be for a few days, but I already miss the prairies.
