A Bluebird Ski

Yesterday the temp was in the 50's and windy but we went over to the golf course to get some exercise. The snow didn't stick at all to our skis (also due to our friend,PAM) and skied around the golf course for about 1 3/4 hr. It was a bluebird day and I didn't even mind the wind. I always wear too many clothes and was actually hot.

We also went to the Carpetbaggers Tournament last eve (putt putt golf tournament and dinner). It was fun and I even won some money for 3rd place. It's suppose to be cooler today but Arn's planning to golf (heading south to whatever course is open). He's golfed all winter so far as long as the weather is at least in the 40's or so.

Nice Blizzard!

We finally got a good snow storm. It started on Thurs. night and snowed until Sat. am. We ended up with about 22 inches. Co. Springs only got about an inch. Our nice neighbor Steve plowed us out once and his kids shoveled off the deck (guess they think we are old...or stupid for not wanting a snow blower) but by Sat. am you couldn't tell they did it. We shoveled out and then went cross country skiing over on the golf course for a couple of hrs. It was warm and beautiful but the snow stuck alittle to the bottoms of our skiis. At least we burned a few calories. There is a full moon this week so if the snow and the weather holds til the weekend we may try a moonlight ski.

1st Snowfall 2011

It snowed last night about 10 inches and it's wet and heavy....all signs point to a snowy winter this year. The deck under the pine trees in the back has been COVERED with chewed up pine cones several times. Some squirrels store food for the winter and some fatten themselves up for the winter(Abert's squirrel). Either way our deck has been a mess from our furry friends getting ready for snow and winter. The Abert's squirel is one of my favorite varieties. Their pointy little ears are so cute.
