The Wet and the Chill

This somewhat crooked picture was taken at the baseball field of the low hanging clouds lying on the top of Rattlesnake and Cedar Mountains...they never moved all day.  And, you guessed it, that is SNOW under that top cloud on the right.  Take a look at the lilacs bordering the field...they bloom later than mine, so missed that killing frost from two weeks ago.  If you look to the right, you can almost see the river snaking its way down the canyon.  The ugly building with the orange red roof is the new police station and jail.  

It has rained like crazy for the past couple of days in Cody.  I have had to wear my jacket, and I turned the heat back on in the house.  This is typical of Spring in Cody, the saying is that in Wyoming you have two seasons, winter...and July!  Ok, it may not be THAT bad, but I am kind of enjoying the rain and the chill.  Instead of mowing and chopping weeds, I made a roast in the crock pot, and stayed quite cozy catching up on my reading.  Tomorrow promises to be brighter, and while I have enjoyed the wet and the chill, I am looking forward to NOT mopping up muddy dog paw prints off the kitchen floor!  DLB
