A Serene Snowy Sunrise

Last week, winter had moments of feeling magical with a big storm of light fluffy snow and then a bluebird day. Shyla and I were out for sunrise on the bluebird day. I'm so glad to have Shyla with whom to share the daily adventures of living in the Colorado mountains.

She snuggled down into pillows of snow and gave me a look that's hard to interpret.

It was still very cold - around 7°F on our sunrise morning. Shyla's limit for needing boots is usually around zero but she still held up a paw every now and then.

And snowface was inevitable after a dive into the snow for a treat.

I sure am glad that we were out reveling in that beautiful day because the weather got bad again soon thereafter.
Today, we were treated to a wonderful "wintry mix" of snow and rain. I don't ever remember it raining in January at our elevation prior to today. Yuck.

Now, I am recovering from steroid injections to try to soothe my carpal tunnel syndrome which has left me with almost constantly tingling/numb/painful hands over the past couple of months. I'm not going to type too much now, in the hope that resting my hands will let the steroids do their job.

Happy Tuesday!

    Carpal tunnel, Hugh has had surgery yet his has flared up again. Lovely snowy photos, no wonder Shyla has a paw out for a wee warm up. Beautiful, every one.

    Beautiful pics! Thanks for sharing. Hopefully things are a bit calmer and warmer up your way this week (it was 62 yesterday in Denver and with the wind 95% of the snow melted). Sorry to hear about your problems with carpal tunnel. When I have had hand issues (both carpal and arthritis), I use a formulation with essential oils that totally reduces the pain. Email me if you'd like me to share it with you. This stuff is magic! tailsaroundtheranch at gmail dot com 😇
