The neighbors looking in.

These ladies (Big Horn Sheep) were captured on film by our guest Barbara Kellogg whilst she was visiting here on her spring break. They have been in evidence all winter as they don't move lower when the snows come.
Well, just like a lot of the country, we have returned to winter with 5 more inches of nice wet snow. Lewis ran a track meet in Leadville yesterday and even though it is "spring track", the meet was run indoors. 5" of snow and snowing hard was not an appealing setting for running outside.
Still though,
I am rooting for spring. We had 4 goldfinches at the feeding station this am and they are BRIGHT yellow, a good indication that they also think spring is on the way. Our UPS driver says he's heard we may have 16" more of snow before Saturday.... hmm, maybe that's why you all are staying home this weekend?
