the hiatus is over

Hello all!  I'm back.  Truthfully, I have no idea why I haven't made any blog entries in the last 6+ weeks.  We've been plenty busy: visits with friends, great dinners, wonderful wines, happy holidays.  The works.  And in the last 5+ years, I haven't gone 6 weeks without blogging before... I guess I just got lazy.
But I got back from California last night -- after a wonderful (albeit brief) visit with my Aunt Kathee and Uncle Paul.  And, no -- I didn't take any pictures -- but I resolved to get back on the blog.
It snowed maybe 2" (at most) last night.  I'm glad I got out this morning and took these pictures -- because the snow is already gone (at least, around our neighborhood).  But I sure love how the Front Range of the Colorado Rockies look when they are dusted with new snow!
Tomorrow, we intend to go up to Rocky Mountain National Park for some snow-shoeing.  It's been dry enough this winter that (if we succeed), this will be our first snow-shoe adventure of the season.  So keep your fingers crossed for more snow!
