Oh, my, our pilot on the Dallas to Gunnison flight gave his usual speech and then added that Gunnison was currently
-24. Bring it on, we clearly are gluttons for punishment! Such an exaggerator, when we landed and got in our car it said -11. Whoo hoo. Anyway, made it to the winter wonderland - hurray.
Made it to the house to find the fly invasion of all time. All dead but literally
thousands everywhere. Sooo, the first hour was spent vacuuming, sweeping , mopping. Then the deck. Drum roll - yes our wonderful huge deck that delights in the summer collects snow, a lot of snow. The photo shows 5 feet of snow - that's the grill swallowed up in the snow. Mark spent some more time shoveling, 10 percent there so far. It's a lot of ice in there - good thing our builder braced this for snow load...
No animal tracks around the house, well there's a lot of snow here. We are snowshoeing tomorrow, tough guys blazing the trail, so we'll see if the coyote & fox appear. (they like trails) This last photo shows our fence in the back - notice snow is up to the top. Gee, wonder how our pool is doing...
I knew this anyway, since you were writing as I talked to ya'll. I want pictures of fly piles!
ReplyDeleteCannot wait to be with you and see the place in dead of winter. Hopefully Mark gets through the ice with his chain saw. Hugging you in 14 days!
That's awesome! I would love to come up there in the winter one of these days. And yea, I kind of want to see picture of the flies too! A little Stephen King-ish...ewwwww
