Mountain Top Christmas Tree


A Christmas tree burns brightly on a moonlit
mountain top, bringing cheer to all below.
The people who live on the other side of the mountain from us always have a beautiful Christmas tree lit up for the season. It stands as a bright beacon all across the valley and we are lucky enough to be able to see it from our bedroom window.

Springtime in the Rockies

 Mountain Living #4

These were the views from our house yesterday. April is our "transition month" here on the mountain.One day it can be 20 degrees, complete with a raging blizzard, while the next can be sunny and 70. It's hard to know how to dress these days.


(Video may take a while to load.)


The poor birds (Gray-Crowned Rosy Finches) seemed glad for the grub.

Winter is on the way out, but it's not quite spring yet (as you can see by the depth of snow on the ground).


Today, though, the sun came out and began warming the earth.





 The piles of snow are slowly starting to disappear.





Perhaps spring is on the way at last!


Melt! Melt! Melt!
