Over the last few months we have had quite a bit of snow, for a change. Driving is dicey but I timed my trip to Denver to fall right between two storms. There was a little bit of snow on dead man's curve and a few other places and the sliding around was scary, but thanks to God I arrived safely. I'm 'on call' today and more snow is due later tonight. Luckily now calls yesterday and with new snow lets hope the same holds true for tonight.
It is so bright on the snow that I have to keep my blinds mostly closed but the meadow shows no evidence of tracks so I haven't missed anything. Hopefully the deer and elk are hiding well as it is hunting season. Scanner traffic said one herd lost four of six of it's big bulls. Damn hunters. Wildlife officers said the outfitters made more money the last few weeks than they make in a year. Wonderful. And we lose some of our beautiful wildlife and they don't have the opportunity to grow into large 'Sampsons'. Figures. It's understandable when they use the meat and ALL of the animal for survival purposes, but mostly it's for the sport and that just seems ugly.
I'll enjoy the beauty of the view from the window and not think of what is going on in the mountains around me.
