Too Much Hill Country

Sometimes there's too much hill country for a patient with a pelvis fracture.  We couldn't drive him out from behind Wildcat mountain, so we called in StarFlight to lift him up in a basket.

Here's a video of the same (notice the dorky firefighters with their dorky smart phones doing nothing better than capturing the scene in dorky photos or even dorkier video form):

And for small entertainment, here's a link that will send you to one of my recent mornings.

The Mothership Has Landed

So, I picked up Mom at the airport last night after miraculously finding the airport in the pitch black, foggy, rainy night through tons of construction and unmarked lanes.  After some much needed sleep we laid in bed this morning and talked for about an hour while watching the deer in the backyard and the rain and fog over the mountains.  I have a feeling that today will be an inside day so we might do some shopping, make cookies, and do some crafts.  Unfortunately it is supposed to rain all weekend, but hopefully the weathermen are wrong.  I wish the rest of yall were up here with us to enjoy this beautiful overcast day.  Love yall!!!

Foggy Morning

I know the pictures don't do it justice, but I got to wake up this morning to the snow covered mountains and the colorful valley all covered in a thick layer of fog.  Hopefully the weather will clear for Mom's flight.  We do have a winter storm advisory for this weekend so...

Love yall more than fall leaves and first snows!

Walking + Fall = Falking

On this beautiful overcast day I just had to take a walk when I got back from school so here are the photos I promised of the fall foliage in the neighborhood.  I wasn't quite able to capture it like I would have liked, but these will do.

Love yall!!!

Snow on the Mountains

We woke up this morning to tons of snow on the mountains around Durango.  It is so exciting but it is also a reminder of the freezing cold that I am about to be surrounded by 24/7.  It is in the low 30s every night now and it stays in the 60s throughout most of the day but you could not imagine more beautiful weather and scenery.

[Photos taken from back porch...lucky me)

Missin' yall and lovin' yall more every day :)
