Happy ‘Cicle Sunday!

Just a wee bit of snow last night. That’s our deck rail just peeking out. Over 2 feet in about 12 hours!

Happy bluebird day!

A couple pix of the Carson Range taken during Mark’s ride out to Genoa yesterday. ‘Twas a beauty day and today looks a bit better. Happy hump day! Get out and enjoy it! #humpdayride

Finally downloaded the videos from our wildlife camera. We give thanks for our bobcat visitor, tail a waggin', over the Thanksgiving holiday. We've seen the tracks and now we know for sure!

Merry Christmas and Happy 🌄! Wishing you all a wonderful holiday. Be safe!
