Frosty breath & sparkly snow




Couple of inches of snow yesterday. I awoke to the sound of Walter (the great guy who plows the roads and watches our house when we're not here) plowing our driveway at 6:15 in the pitch dark. Energetic guy!
Gorgeous blue sky and sun for the last day of the year. We're off to Crested Butte for the torchlight parade soon. Love that town, it's so quaint.
So who can guess what the funny looking thing in the photo is? None of my family may guess - they were here for the unveiling. This was part of Mark's Christmas stocking present from his secret Santa (Chris). Okay, it's a hyper lip single elk call. I'm sure you all guessed correctly. Oh, yes, Mark now has a gadget to attract elk. Not that he is planning on hunting them (at least for now) but just wants to see them... The instructions came with exercises too - The chirp, the mew, the estrus call - which all seem to be variations of "EE-OO" using a big breath blowing in this thing. I'll let you know how it goes...
