    HI KB, You go from heat to snow! Love that Lizard pic, but my favorite is K wearing a snow beard. We got about 8" and still falling.

    Oh man, that looks so cold. I don't think that my Vickie is ready for that kind of snow and ice.

    I of course can handle anything, so BRING IT ON.

    Love that little fox! Do they get along with the coyotes or are they prey for the coyotes?

    That snow looks absolutely beautiful!

    Your pal, Pip

    I have thought so much about you as I've seen the news reports--Amazing how quickly the weather changes, but I know that's not unusual when you're living at your elevation. I hope all is well as you welcomed your first snow!!

    The photos of K with the snow flakes on her is beautiful.
    K always looks like she enjoys the snow,,, but then she always looks like she enjoys everything,,,, after all ,.,, it is her world too.
    Your winter wonderland is beautiful.
    We love the photos of the fox and coyotes. Your world has so much wildlife. We always wonder about our wild life. (but we did find some bear poop)
    love
