Spring Storm


Like many parts of North America, Wyoming gets some pretty heavy snow just as winter is thinking about changing to spring.  Unlike the cold dry blow-ey snow storms of deep winter, a spring storm provides lots of wet snow – great for snowball fights, snow forts and snow men.
This kind of snow is a lot harder on an old back like mine, so it takes longer to clean up – you gotta pace yourself and take smaller shovel scoops.

The good news is that spring storms melt fairly fast because warmer weather always returns quickly.

As February wraps up and we head into March, today's snowfall reminds me that this grand old lady has another great summer comin'.  Within weeks we'll be seeing new flowers sprouting in the front garden.

King of the Cowboy Towns...

That's what Western Horseman magazine says (Feb. 2012.).

Now I grew up in the Chicago suburbs, so I'm no cowboy.  But Bev spent lots of time on her dad's ranch in California and knows which end of a horse... oh never mind.

But Sheridan and cowboys?  Now there's a match.

Western Horseman magazine names Sheridan "King of Cowboy Towns"

Here's a bronc rider catching some serious air at the 2008 Rodeo.
