May Day - Snow???

I just love living in Colorado. We had near 80 degree weather on Monday and then 6 inches of snow on Wednesday - THE FIRST OF MAY! Luckily it didn't stick to the sidewalks or streets but it did make for some pretty slippery driving when the wet streets froze up.



Today we have sunshine and the snow will probably be gone by Saturday.

We also got a little visitor, just trying to stay out of the cold and wait out the storm. Look in the upper right hand corner.


Let me get a little closer....


Ahhhh, there he is. Isn't he (or she) cute????


And so tiny, too. Only about 2 or 2 1/2 inches long. We get bats catching a nap on the front porch fairly regularly.


And before you shutter and run you should know that bats are fairly shy and they love to eat bugs. Especially, mosquitoes. They are also a protected species in Colorado.

On another note we had Fritz back into the vet on Tuesday to get his blood sugars checked - again - and his numbers are between the 130's and 160's, which is excellent!!!! He has no signs of cataracts (thank goodness), and he was able to jump up on the bench at the end of the bed for the first time in a couple of months. Today was a good day.



Well, I best go get my day started. Today is going to be a perfect day for staying inside, working on blocks, and watching the snow melt! I wish you a lazy day, too.

Until Next time...Happy Needling!!!

How crazy the spring weather has been. While my sis was visiting, it snowed twice back in MN, and we had absolutely gorgeous weather. Go figure.
