year). Many years ago, a friend was coming for a visit in June. Two days before she was due, she called to check on the weather. I told her that it was snowing. She said, shocked, "but it's June!" "June in Colorado Springs", I replied. Had to drive her into Manitou and up the pass to show her the snow. Th Hill Climb was snowed out aa number of times. And when my friend Betty visited the August before she died, my godson was surprised to see all the snow in the foothills.

Hope you and hubby and trees are all okay. Is it snowing by you right now?
