Winter, Moons & Updates

This has been a dry, sunny week of melting in Southwest Colorado. The roads seem clear, but the snow remains with icicles melting, forming on the edges of house roofs. We did get about a quarter of an inch of snow Friday evening, but the sunshine on Saturday and Sunday has taken care of that new snow.

I wish that I had my camera in hand the other day when I let Sadie out back to take care of her backyard business and exploring. Sadie finally decided to make the trek up the backyard slope to explore because she found out that the snow had compacted and frozen underneath so she did not sink in up to her belly and chest.

After awhile of exploring, I called her in with a bribe of a T R E A T! She came running down the slope in good shape, but when she got to the bottom near some much softer snow, she did a quick sinking into the snow up to her belly. Sadie did a short back track of a few steps then forged quickly forward to the back porch -- shaking off the snow chest and belly.

It was hilarious! I never am prepared for those type of Pug adventures, though.

Did anyone get a chance to view the big, bright Full Moon Saturday evening. With the snow on the ground, it really lit up the night skies! The digital camera that I have did not do justice to the Full moon view, though. I took it from my front porch and it is hidden halfway behind an huge icicle hanging from the roof edge. If you have a better shot of Saturday evenings Full moon, send us a copy to share with everyone.
