Summer in Arkansas. Winter in Georgia. We have spent the past two-and-a-half years bouncing back and forth from AR to GA with a trip back to Colorado in May or June to get our medical and dental brought up to date and get to see snow on the mountains. This year it seems that the lakes and rivers on the front range of the Rockies are full to the brim and the mountains still seem to have a lot of snow yet to melt. That's good news for the ranchers and farmers and water users on the plains and a beautiful sight for the front-rangers and visitors to the state.
For many years living here in Colorado, we saw the snow, shoveled the snow and at times were limited in our travel activities by the snow. Some winters we would have wished we had already been in Georgia, even though there wasn't even a glimmer of such a thing happening to us. It's not beyond the realm of possibility that there will be more snow yet to fall in the mountains, and it may yet hail on the flats, an ever present threat to roofs and cars. But, for now, we are happy to be able to see the mountains again, to enjoy the beautiful scenery to the west and just soak it in while we can.
Our appointments are winding down with a full day tomorrow and then only two for next week. We aren't wishing our time away, or planning our return trip to the Passion Play yet. Enjoy the moment, let the tests taken be evaluated. and have done what needs to be done, see some more of our friends and family........and enjoy the snow on the mountains while it lasts.
