After 3 early season snows, it is hard to imagine that we are forecast for near 70 degree temp. today. One of our boys Kyle was able to be here with us today.  His 2 labs Chief and Sable are enjoying out country setting and our own dogs.  We have lots to be thankful for.

Last weekend saw high winds on the Front Range all the way from Boulder down to Trinidad. We weren’t spared here in the La Veta Cuchara area either. Most damage were a result of  downed trees. Many hot-tubs and an occasional roof lost their top covers.  Power was out for nearly 12 hours.

Seems like the kids usually get snowed out on Halloween, but this one is coming a few days late.  The predicted 2 to 5 inches is already measuring 8″ here at our place just south of La Veta.  … and snowing.
