I wish Kristina was here (she is still in IA at the Johnson/Elson wedding) as she always gets excited with me as it snows! It snowed overnight a little but today brought periods of steady light snow and it was so pretty. Fairly big, fluffy flakes! It turned the landscape into a picture postcard and makes me think of friends, family, and of Christmas. Yes, as much as I love Colorado, I miss YOU all at times like this!

Abby and I went for a walk in Ute Valley Park late this afternoon. Abby loves mountaineering! She races from rock to rock, dodging back and forth across the trail -ears flopping all the while. She never gets exhausted. No matter how far we hike, she never tires! She is constantly sniffing with that hound nose of hers; no scent along the way misses her notice. She had fresh deer scent to follow tonight and she would sometimes get out of my sight as she ran trying to find them. They were gone, however. Probably somewhere warm and cozy out of the storm, no doubt.
