It just gets better ...














So, I was happy about the snow fall on Sunday, but what I didn't know is that Monday morning would be even better. I woke up to this! I love the look of snow before any salt has turned it to brown or green.
It is so peaceful. And ... now that is has "officially" snowed this winter, I am ready for spring to come. Especially the cherry blossoms - and I should only have to wait a couple of weeks!
As crazy as it seems, it is true.
This past Tuesday it was about 28 degrees and on Saturday it is supposed to be in the high 60s.

Singing in the Snow








This morning I went for a walk while it was snowing ... it made me happy.
It has only snowed twice this year.
I think it is beautifully peaceful.
These are just a few pictures I took with my point and shoot on my route.

Day Trip with Stanley





Flat Stanley came for a visit to DC.  My niece sent him out for an adventure.
We had a lot of fun and met two other Stanleys - one from Kentucky and one from Minnesota.

One more from WY


In the picture below there are over 10 mountain goats.  Can you see them?

If you couldn't pick them out - here is one closer.  These mountain goats spend their winter in the mountains about 15 minutes from my house.  They are usually quite high up on the mountains, but this time they were down low - and there were a lot of them.

And the picture below is a picture of a Mountain Sheep (not to be mistaken with the mountain sheep above - two very different animals).  


And of course there are a lot of Elk that spend the winter in the protected feed grounds in both Star Valley and Jackson.  They are such large beautiful unique animals.
