Just in time we had a 3 day weekend to enjoy in the middle of the winter. Our plans were to visit either Comb wash and explore the canyons on the East side of the uplift or to stay in Moab and perhaps bring the bikes. Then there was plan C which was to stay at home because the weather wasn't good enough to warrant the expense of staying anywhere. Plan C won! Saturday was the worst day with high winds and snow up high. We stayed at home and painted our bedroom. What color do you think would go with the rest of the house ( our current colors are: yellow and yellow, blue and another blue green, darker green and red)? I will post again when I get some pictures of the room all finished.
That night we celebrated Valentines Day. We used a steak from our 0.25 cow with all of the fixings as well as cards, flowers and a few gifts.
Sunday was a much nicer day. We drove up to Ironton and played in the new snow and visited our favorite mining head frame. When we started skiing it was 10 degrees but quickly warmed up. We didn't bring the camera so these pictures are from last year. We got home from the ski and finished painting. This morning we went back up to Ouray before the next storm hits, and snowshoed on the Dallas trail. It is a quick 1300 foot climb! I can certainly tell I live at a lower elevation. Now we are just doing the finishing touches on the bedroom and getting things ready for the work week ahead of us. This week, we start with a winter storm warning. On Wednesday, I get to visit Katie when NG sends me out to DC to help create and test some new labs for the energy curriculum they are designing. I think it will be a fun week. And Hawaii in just 6 weeks!
