This weekend Fran took off on a girls hut trip into the San Juan Mountains. She and a few friends took off in marginal weather and made their way 5 miles up a beautiful drainage to spend a few nights in a backcountry cabin.
That night the winds gusted to near 60 mph at the ridge tops and 6 inches of snow fell near the cabin.

Fun times at the cabin, making a luge run
One reason we left the high country was to see what a growing season looked like. This winter, we are starting a few plants both inside and outside the greenhouse in late February. Fran is planting lettuce. News to follow when the first crop of 2011 comes in.
Looks like y'all are having a fabulous time in CO! I can't believe the gardening in the winter;0
