Brokeback Weather Alert - Snowfall Coming to Higher Mountains

[Front-Ranger]

I hope you wake up some day and find out your dream is real, friend!

Another lovely Indian Summer day in the Rocky Mountains. I will be having lunch with my friend Yusef, and eating on the patio of a local restaurant, from where I can take in a lovely view of the snow-covered mountains!!

At last, snow coupled with cold temps, so it will likely stick more than an hour. Here's me with my trusty snow dog.

Got your skis waxed? 

[Front-Ranger]

No, friend, but I've got my snowshoes stringed!!

I saw some very interesting tracks in the snow and followed them for quite a while. They were different than the snowshoe rabbit tracks I had seen all around. These tracks might have been a badger, a fox or a small bobcat. I was grateful that they showed me the way through the woods.

Been researching what animal might have produced these tracks. Narrowed it down to either a pine marten or a long-tailed weasel. They spend much of their time in the subnivean environment and feed on mice, voles, snowshoe hares, pine squirrels, and songbirds.

Great pic Lee!!
It looks so pretty (how could it not with you in the pic)
Wish we were getting snow here. It's 72 according to the thermometer out back.
I'm worried my fruit trees are going to bloom before I can get them pruned at this rate.

<blush> friend, that embarassed me so much, I decided not to quote you! But thanks, enniway!!

The thought of blooming fruit trees (I assume there are some peach?) is intoxicating for us snow-bound Northerners. Can you post the scent for us, friend?

This one was taken on Memorial Day weekend!!

This is a sad day in the Rocky Mountains. My half-husky, half-malamute Kapu succumbed to hip displaysia yesterday. May he rest in peace. Kapu, 1996-2009.
