Ah February

February - the month my folks made their first visit to Boulder a few decades ago. The very month when, during that visit, my father declared he did not know why anyone would ever want to leave Boulder - said after playing a round of golf on a balmy 70 degree February day (with Rob de Castella as part of his cobbled-together foursome!).

There has been many a February when Kendall has been surprised by how warm the day is - at which point I remind him of my dad's reaction to February weather. But not this February. Nope. Most of this February has been snow and ice-covered here in Boulder. I had high hopes (tho' not high temps) with yesterday's sunshine, but winter reasserted itself today. Our morning run, dancing from street to sidewalk depending on which was clear, was in the shadows of yet another curtain of snow drawing close over the Flatirons. Ah well, spring is just a month away...  In the meantime, there is at least one cattle dog who is quite happy with his snow frolicking days!
