It is 9:20 am and warming up, but still snowing. It has warmed up to 16F from a low last night of 7F. There are many apple trees around here just growing beside the road. I pulled off the road in Eldorado Springs, CO and picked a bunch of apples yesterday. I planted four varieties of apples in the yard this year. Also blueberries, nanking cherries, toka plum, two mount royal plums and two butternut trees. I have to get another red plum variety for cross pollination with the Toka plum. Glad I got the garlic planted when I did! There is a ski area just west of my home (Eldora Ski Resort) and I can even see the runs from my living room. It is the last privately run ski area left in Colorado. It is not very big, but also not too crowded.

Like I said the other day... I have this recurring nightmare that when I die I am sent to Hell and find snow and ice there!!!

The pic is beautiful! Still glad i live here and not there! LOL

Everything here is flat. The kids used to call the high rise bridge a hill. :)

Lucky you with all your fruit trees! Apples just don’t do well here and they have to be sprayed constantly. I’m not even going to talk about peaches. Plums are iffy and cherries are definitely out. Blueberries do great.

Wonder if all those apple trees beside the road were planted or if it’s just where people threw apple cores out when they were finished eating them?

A little cooler here today—mid 80’s yest.
