The drive from Cherry Creek included rain , which turned into snow. This is the view from our truck as we neared Boyd Lake State Park. Was this really May??? It sure looks like the landscape when we visit in December for Christmas. Were we in some kind of time warp?
Our site, right next to Ron and Patty, was waiting for us and so were they. Homemade soup that Patty had made for us hit the spot. There is something about soup and chili tasting extra special when it is cold outside.
Brr! It was freezing and the wind was blowing so hard that the snow was going sideways. Don pulled the trailer into the site so we could hook up to electricity, and that is all. We never even put out the slides, making it very cozy (err....crowded) inside. No TV was available since it was behind the bottom slide. It could have been worse....we could have been in a tent. And we are way, way too old for that to happen.
The next days saw much better weather. Here are the views from our kitchen window on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Winter, Spring and Summer all within 3 days! That is Colorado weather for you. If you don't like it, just wait until tomorrow....or maybe even the same day.
I was really thankful when I found my hiking boots that had waited several years for me in the trailer. My tennis shoes sure wouldn't have kept my feet warm and dry, that's for sure.
The best part was that I had a chance to build a snowman (or should I say snow woman)! I couldn't have done that back in Phoenix, even in the winter. Isn't she cute with the flowers on her head? In her former life, I think she was a hippie flower child. At any rate, she didn't last long. By the next morning, she had completely melted.
Moral of the story: Live your life to the fullest each day, for you never know what tomorrow may bring. If you're made out of snow, the sun will turn you first into a slushy, and then into plain old cold water.
