window tree

Yes, well, this shot had been hiding out for 18 months, but I finally noticed its potential. Sometimes I’m slow like that.

Inside/Outside

Do you think the cacti are jealous of each other, with the inside one wanting to experience the ice, and the outside one wishing for the relative warmth of the greenhouse?

The day winter arrived

This is usually how our weather works – it’ll be the end of October and still hot. Like need-an-air-conditioner hot. And then the weather forecast says in four or five days we’ll have six or seven inches of snow. Six or seven INCHES!! It is very exciting. But as the days between now and the forecasted snow dwindle, so does the anticipated snow accumulation. And then, at last, the snow day arrives. Only there’s ice instead of snow.

And then, two or three days later, it’s once again so warm that it’s hard to believe the ice storm really happened.

yet despite all this

Normal travelers seeking a route between Cheyenne and Caspar would take Interstate 25, which would take about two and a half hours.

And that is the complete explanation of our route of choice, a desolate and meandering path that added roughly an hour to the drive. But we got to see this. (And we skipped the boring interstate.)

Sod Roller

If I’m in a cemetery, I will always check out the groundskeeper’s shack. It’s just a thing I do. Sometimes it isn’t worth the (very small) effort, but other times, there’s a sod roller leaning against the wall.
