Weather

Two blizzards have blown through the ranch in the past week leaving behind some monstrous drifts, gorgeous natural snow sculptures, and otherworldly landscapes. Join me as we take a pictorial walk through the aftermath of the storms.

Winter is coming and it is time to start preparing.  How can that be, you may ask, it is only the end of September.  When you live at 6800′ in Colorado, the weather can change very quickly.  This morning it was 33 degress with an expected high of 55, and I had a fire going in our wood burning stove.  Tomorrow it is supposed to reach 82 degrees. The kittens were on our front porch all piled on top of each other to keep warm.
