Roller Coaster Weather

This month’s postcard, perhaps, takes a little explaining, perhaps.

Those of you who read my blog regularly will remember the pictures posted during the storm of March 25th. The change in the weather was remarkable. First it was blizzard-conditions in the morning and then it was lovely, spring-like conditions in the afternoon. The difference was remarkable!

The part of the card on the left was taken at 04:30 that morning; the part on the right, twelve hours later. The camera was in the same place, pointing the same way… the difference is that at 04:30 the Colorado Blue Spruce was covered with a thick frosting of snow. By 16:30 the weather was so pleasant that I had shed my coat for my afternoon walk with Saga. As the pictures show, so had the tree!

The weather this weekend was typical Colorado weather in this respect. I had a lovely sunny day Saturday to walk Saga in her park. Sure, it was a bit windy, bit all-in-all, it was a good day. Sunday was nice too but colder. Today is supposed to be nice but really windy. There must be a front moving in because the weather man said that four-letter-word in the forecast for the week. S*N*O*W!

Ah, well! That is why we live in Colorado!

Wherever you are today, I hope that you have had a lovely weekend and are looking forward to having a good week!
