Snowing - again


It's only Nov 15th and Colorado has seen three snows. First we were teased with about 2" on October 17th. I went to Orlando, Fl for a software conference and flew back to Denver to be met with 8 inches of snow with the main roads closed that lead to the ranch.




This week, Nov. 13th, I flew to Denver from a work week in Alabama and 30 miles into my 65 mile drive home, the flakes began to come down in buckets. The evening ended with about 3 inches and more is expected this before the weekend is over.




Snow is normal for this area but not this much this early. It will be fun to see what the rest of the year brings!

Savannah - Henry's new pet


We went to an Amish buggy horse auction in Brighton, Colorado. That is where Henry found Savannah - a 3 year old Draft horse. It was an auction and I was sitting right next to Henry. This pretty black and white mare was in the sale ring and the auctioneer was taking bids. It got almost to a close and the fellow was trying to get the bidders to up the price. Suddenly he was looking right towards us! I glanced at Henry and said, "are you bidding on that horse?" , when he sheepishly grinned and said, "Yeah."

In just a couple more minutes, she was ours. Although she has been harness trained, she needs some work before she will pull the blue and tan buggy that sits in our shed. I'll send those pictures once she is hooked up.

Come on out for a ride.
