The transition to the high country of western Wyoming is complete; we are now involved in the labor of starting up a winterized house. We left 100 degree days in NV and arrived here to a snow flurry that was inconvenient but did not “stick.”
After all the tans, reds, and yellows of a desert environment, the new greens of the mountains are a balm to the eyes. The other DrC has posted photos of the new leaves on our aspens and me towing a downed tree out of the driveway.
Our semiannual migrations are a lot of work but we’ll keep doing them as long as we’re able. Having reasonable weather all year is a blessing worth working to obtain.
I write “reasonable” instead of “nice” because “not nice” days can happen anywhere. We’ve opted to maximize what we think of as “late spring” weather for most of the year.
The summer mountains can get out-of-season snowfalls and rain while we’re here. The winter desert gets persistent winds, dust/sandstorms and an occasional frost.
