Stormy Weather

After a terrific long weekend of hiking and reading and sleeping and playing with friends, I had planned to drive home Tuesday afternoon — but this is what the weather looked like.

We had thunder and lightning and hail.

So I decided to stay in Keystone since Brad was gone to San Diego and San Francisco and Portland anyway. 

And then overnight we had some snow, which makes everything glow in the sunshine.  It’s so beautiful, but a bit surreal for the end of May.

Altitude makes all the difference here.  Entering the Eisenhower – Johnson Tunnel  at almost 12,000 feet, the outside temperature was 38 degrees.  At home in Eldorado Canyon at 6,250 feet the temperature was 63.  It’s good to be back where the flowers are blooming.
