First snowstorm and goodbyes

This is the last post from Star Mt. for a very long time. We are Florida bound. It looks a bit different than last post right? Clearly the weather wanted us to have the whole experience before we left. 6 inches of snow at the house. It's still melting as I write two days later.

And as expected, the cowboys showed up to take our cattle away, good timing as it was right before the storm. It's like a ballet really, they move slowly, making invisible movements with their horses that cause those cattle to just stay in line and wander down the road. No cattle until next June. Our gates are now open, we still have two even after replacing one with a cattle guard last summer.

Hunting week was unsuccessful for Mark and Paul. They saw a lot of elk on the hunting ground just didn't have a clear shot. The elk above were right around our house one morning where of course there is no hunting. Clearly saying hahaha to Mark and Paul. This big bull came after a few minutes delay behind his harem. Next year....

During the snowstorm we had a ton of deer appear, looking just a little bit confused, but kept right on eating anyway. This was the cutest little boy fawn who was right outside our window.

Twas a bit crazy to have the snow but so so gorgeous, especially with the last bits of color. Yes I walked just not during the storm.

Post storm there were naps- in the snow in front of our house. No sign of Flap in this group. Have to wait until next spring apparently. Our deer spa continues on, if only for a little longer before they leave for the winter.

Bye house for now. There'll be a lot more snow than this when we get back.
