It felt like summer today, but we Coloradans are not easily fooled. Despite knowing that more snow could dump on us, Steve put the canopy up on our south-facing patio, and set up my fountain. We sat outside soaking up the heat and sun for quite a while today. "A" fired up the grills and made Indian food for dinner. I watered our battered tulips and the irises that were half-frozen when the snows hit earlier this month. Of course the weather prediction is for some more snow mid-week. I hope it isn't enough to cause problems with the shade canopy. We always rush the season even though it's almost a law in Colorado to not expect the snow to end until Mother's Day. (Sunday, May 12th) I looked up the weather expectations at the NOAA website for the week. There's a 50% chance of showers on Tuesday, with a rain/snow mix overnight. Wednesday brings a 70% chance of snow, with a 30% chance of snow continuing that night. We still love getting that precipitation in any form except hail. And so it goes in Colorado.
Drove by Carter Lake this morning and watched a large herd of elk.
Not sure why some were wearing the stylish green collars.
The tulips aren't as impressive this year, but they are trying hard to recover.
