Snowfall, a little more Penny, and the last sandhill cranes

Made it back to Star Mt. literally an hour before the snow started late on Monday. If you hadn't heard, much of the state got hammered with a spring snow earlier this week. We had 11 inches before it turned to rain. before it turned to rain. Lots of deck clearing by Mark, the driveway had to be plowed, and lots of snow back on the ground. Not quite real spring yet here...

Missing Penny like crazy, and she's been asking about us too apparently. We're just a plane ride away- we'll see how long before I just have to go back :) A few more Penny photos to share:

run those bases (wrong way)
Had to put up a couple of Mark's photos of the sandhill cranes that flew over our house before we left for Virginia. I think they're gone from our area for this year.

Mark's terrific long lens
Spied a hot air balloon as I went into town for a hair appt. Always something going on..

Local news: Sherpa Cafe has opened a second location in Gunnison on Tomichi. That's our family from Nepal who opened a restaurant in CB a few years ago. Guess things are looking up for them.

Book read: The Bolter by Frances Osborne. True story about Idina Sackville written by her great granddaughter. The crazy life and times, and many divorces of this adventuresome woman in Britain and South Africa in the 1920's and 30's. Good read.
