There really isn't any sunrise here as the trees are 90 to 120 tall all around us. I can hardly wait for my sweet Texas peach to awaken so she can tell me how much she enjoys this and how wonderful it is here instead of in the subtropics where it is 70 degree F right now and the sun will rise and I would actually see it do so. I told myself Peach loves the idea of these mountains and so will I! It is beautiful. Whether I will still have any enthusiasm for it later myself will greatly depend on how thrilled she is by the crispy weather I guess. But.... Oh well life's adventures evidently does now include the propane fireplace burner going on and off several times during the night. Dreamt of marshmellows on a stick half the night. The other half, well that was the cat up on the bed, geesh a cat on the bed, it was no dream, augh. Praise God though for this fun opportunity to spend our wedding anniversary away from the "heat" of the subtropics ( I tend to think of it as the warmth) and instead be in the mountains, especially for my bride's sake on this day. And that's the Whether. Time for some hot morning tea. How's the weather in other parts of this globe today? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freezing temperatures overnight with highs in the 70's during the day are common fare at this time. Summer vies with fall while winter looks on, secure in the knowledge that both will fall asleep when snow cloaks this place during the heart of winter. Beautiful beyond words. I recall being in the Sierra Mountains when the snow fell. I could look up into the heavens where a zillion stars were looking back, but they did not twinkle. The air was so thin, each of them looked like little, tiny moons. As I got back into my car, a deer darted out from the tall trees and danced across the road. These are the priceless affections the Lord has bestowed abundantly for us to admire. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a completely average day here in SD. Neither hot nor cold, a slight breeze... Not bad. I remember camping in the Rocky Mts with my mother and brother as a kid. You could see for miles. I collected rocks at the time, so my eyes were mainly focused on the ground - good thing, too, cause I was able to collect rather unique things. A chunk of fool's gold, a crystal, even a rock with a bunch of really small seashells in it. Found more joy in the rocks rather than the view, essentially. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have very poor internet this AM so I cannot respond to all the posts individually at this time. It is going to warm up some for a few days, should be pretty nice here. No real marshmellows though. Haven't seen but a yearling deer yet. Plenty of turkey though ( two legged). Hope to relearn fresh water fishing these next few days. It has been some time, well actually a long time. Just going to fish along the river bank. My Sweet Peach bought me a flannel shirt, guess I am going native, ha. Don't even know if I can spell flannel correctly, spell check says I can't. Signal too weak to check dictionary so whether right or wrong fannel it is for this AM. BTW since asked- My life's mate of my young years through to old age and mother of my children graduated to be with our Lord Jesus after we had known and loved for 50 years. God has now twice blessed me with such wonderful love with a mate. My Sweet Texas Peach and I are now married long enough to celebrate our third anniversary ( She is a strong one to withstand and love me). We became in love via high technology, online at Zolaboard, and first met at the River Walk , San Antonio. Whether coincidental or not the chalet we are in at the mountains has a framed wall painting ( A print) that I moved up to the balcony lofted bedroom. Peach and I looked at it and said well that is really kinda nice lets leave it here it fits. I looked again and said; yes it sure does why that is the sidewalk cafe scene of the place we first stopped as we walked at the River Walk. It looks French or New Orleans but that is San Antonio, Texas, The River Walk, and right where we first started our little journey with a in person chat. God can be really cool with His "coincidences" at times. Whether or not one believes in coincidences. Myself, I think they are all purpose filled by our LORD's power and perhaps just perhaps for His entertainment as He shows us we are not coincidental to Him. And that is the whether report from here where it will be too warm today for my new flannel. I do enjoy the reports from around the country and this whole global earth. So thanks for sharing too!
