Ode to snow

Here was our yesterday: rain, snow, sleet, hail, snow, sleet in waves all day. The elk were out a lot of the day, I think they thought they were hidden in all that white stuff.
So today we woke up to 6 inches of snow covering everything. Welcome to mid-May in CO! Mark actually shoveled the deck where the roof runoff snow piled up. Crazy. And the lonely hummingbird feeder attracted a few hummingbirds this morning, surrounded by snow. Here's the weirdest thing about the snowstorm. It didn't exist - on any weather report; just for us on Star Mountain. Mark went to play golf in Gunnison - no snow there. I came down Star Mt. to do errands in town and no snow anywhere after a mile or so. Expect the unexpected here...
Finished book #29 Balcony of Europe by Aidan Higgins. Sort of Hemingwayish reissued classic. Interesting, but the style made is a little harder read than I was hoping for. I've gotten way behind on my reading, it seems my surroundings are far too distracting.
