Snow was falling,
Mary Oliver
so much like stars
filling the dark trees
that one could easily imagine
its reason for being was nothing more
than prettiness.
Awoke to this pretty scene. A reminder that it’s still spring and I live in Colorado. It is a wet and heavy snow with plenty of moisture, making farmers happy campers. Most of the trees have their leaves on so many of the branches on the smaller trees are under the stress of its weight. It is not cold so I’m good with it. This is at the trailhead to Fisher Natural Area along West Stuart.

It’s been a very odd spring here. Yesterday, mid-May, we had a very slight dusting of snow at our highest elevations (something around 5,000 ft). Mid may! That, and here in the foothills and lowlands we’re getting rain like I haven’t seen in 20 years. Welcome, but odd.

This storm brought good moisture. This morning we have bright sunshine and clear skies but that’s expected to change later in the day.
