First Snow of the Season Ulog
It's coming down in big, fat, fluffy flakes still, but it's supposed to be in the 60s again later this week, lol. Welcome to Colorado! The skiiers/snowboarders must be happy this weekend (this photo was taken during a lull).
That car on the left is smart - pull your windshield wipers off the windshield when parked in snow so they don't stick. I don't even own a car and I know that trick living here. :)
I went ahead and cooked the rest of my cocoa powder into chocolate syrup, and we'll see if that's better on the allergies. I am so exhausted and actually took a nap today, and I think it's because I've been taking so much antihistamine. It SAYS it's non-drowsy, but just like caffeine doesn't wake me up, non-drowsy things generally make me drowsy. I'm ass backwards, don'tcha know.
Yes, that's an old olive oil bottle and an old maple syrup bottle repurposed for chocolate syrup. They work well!
I have around a half dozen open blooms that I've hand pollenated on the tomatoes, and several more buds. Maybe I will get those February tomatoes after all. ;)
I am not going anywhere today, but I am glad it will be warming up through the week as I have to run to the post office again in the next day or two. The snow will probably be melted by then, because Denver!
I hope y'all are having a fierce weekend. Be good, Steemit!
PS - the mosquito is dead. LOL!

Fingers crossed for February tomatoes! I hope the chocolate syrup solves the problem...
The syrup is better, but not completely symptom-free. So I think I just bought myself some time to experiment with different shake recipes. :)

Sorry to intrude on your replies but I have limited time and no time for a full post. I need to get this message out to my friends on steemit. I hope you understand...Thanks, Phe for being a friend.
I am typing from a borrowed computer in a cyber cafe. My computer and both phones died on Saturday as well as our poor 17 year old kitty, Sally. Then on Sunday the grandfather of the family that is staying with us in the compound passed away. We had his funeral on Monday afternoon. Organizing a funeral in the midst of a war is horrendous. We have also had two tropical storms sitting over us dumping a tremendous amount of water causing flooding and mudslides. Tuesday my son and I were both sick to add to problems.
The country is in a terrible state. The central bank is bust and people are still being shot and being imprisoned with no hope of release as they have been deemed terrorists. Everyone's safety is in peril. We don't dare leave the compound after noon on any day. Going to the cemetery was a risk. I can't replace my phone or my computer until I don't know when so I will not be on here or steemit much if at all. I all ready miss all my friends on both platforms and on discord. If I plan it right, I may be able to keep in touch with people through discord. Until We chat again. Take care. ♥💔😢
@cecicastor :'( I am so sorry :'( :'( Thank you for taking this moment to write Phe, I will share.
Sending love 💜💜💜
You and your land and spirits have been on my mind and in my prayers which i will double down on now. 🙏💜🙏
Damn, that is worrisome. Praying!
I see this and I have been wondering about you as well. I have been following your story since I started steem. Always praying. Keep well. Hope the babies are well too. Much love from Canada. xx
Oh noooo! I'm so sorry to hear this, Ceci! Sending love your way. Will pass the word around when I'm on the laptop. <3

Several years back i went to a wedding in Colorado in SEPTEMBER and there were flurries during the vows. It was in winter park though... high elevation there
When I first moved here 28 years ago, it snowed in September. And we still had to go to school. I was like, "TAKE ME BACK TO NEW JERSEY," but now I like it because the weather is so changeable, the unpleasant stuff never stays for long. :)

Lol, new Jersey sees some snow too, no? Just not as early as September i know! Lol
And yes, Colorado's beauty makes up for its inclement weather I'd think , i've never lived there but considered it many times
Yes, New Jersey sees snow, and it sticks around once it arrives, just not as early as September! LOL
