Cancellations, paella, and snow machines

Bunch of snow dropped over the weekend, requiring much clean up effort on our (mostly Mark's) part, along with the snow plow company hired to clear Star Mt. roads (which Mark flagged down to clear our driveway.) Amazing amount of wet heavy snow that was added to by all that slid off the roof. Not done yet either apparently. Mark's flight was cancelled out of Gunnison,so trip is not happening this week, and I will not be driving to CO Springs tomorrow. Plan B, plan C, etc.

Wonderful paella cooked by Mark. Apparently we thought 6 strangers were showing up instead of just the two of us. Ha, more for us!

My online philosophy class  with the University of Edinburgh started today. The video lectures were good and thought provoking, but first I had to get beyond the distracting lilting Scottish accent of the professor. Well, it is coming from Scotland after all. Total number of students as of today - 90,000! Surprised the site didn't crash.

Bull escape. Coming back from errands in town, a group of bulls had escaped and crossed the road over to their owners house. Feed me was the message?

Walked the normal through the woods route before the snowstorm for the first time since last October. So pretty. We made our snowshoe run after the storm, had to do a little work to compress the trail again. Weird priorities right?

Tired after watching Downton Abbey last night. I tape it then watch it when it airs anyway. LOVE that show, anybody else?

  1. I just this minute said I feel left out not watching Dowton Abbey. Thinking of netflixing and spending a weekend catching up
