The Jeep excursion this day was a lunch time run to town for a few tidbits to tide us over the week end…and included a walk along the way.
Skies varied from puffy clouded blue to dark and ominous.
Headed for home, the dark and ominous were low and to our north and east..
Rain squalls showed…
…all backlit by the sunny, blue patches.
Weather.
This morning the ground was bare. By 6:30 a.m. there was a dusting of snow. Then the sun came out and the ground was bare. And then it graupelled.
A LOT of graupel.
It graupelled for nearly half an hour!
I headed to town with Bear after lunch. We had an appointment at the vet to have the incision staples removed.
I arrived early to buy Bob’s food and Bear’s supplements, but they were ready for Bear and all was accomplished quicky. We ended up leaving 5 minutes after our original appointment time – yea!
Bear was VERY glad about the short visit. It was a bit nerve-wracking for him to go there again and he made no bones about wanting OUT OF THERE!
Dr. Clark came out with the tech and Bear and told me how well Bear was looking at 11 days post-op.
A good report and on we go.
We had stopped for a walk on the way to town. Between the walk, the Jeep excursion and the VET visit…
Bear was done!
Bob was happy that we returned with HIS FOOD.
And then the sun came out.
Beautiful.
Ending the week on a high and Wintry note…
We continue with our pattern of sun, snow squall, gray, sun and repeat…sometimes all at the same time.
Photo taken 3/7 early evening – looking East – just as a snowish squall ended and the setting sun hit the tree tops with blue sky above and gray clouds over the mountains of the divide.
This morning.
After the morning sun, it got colder and gray.
The wind blew.
I sat outside with Bear and Bob and listened to the wind in the pines.
And then it started to snow.
Magic.
Today’s Winter Weather Advisory for a potential powerful Winter storm was scaled down and broken in two. NOAA reported that the models changed from one storm to two “events” with a break in between.
They were right about the break. The sun came out this morning. It was in and out but mostly out all day and lots of blue sky overhead.
Bob enjoyed the sun in his own way.
