According to DIA we had our first measurable snowfall yesterday and through the night. They showed 4.5 inches at the airport while Fort Collins had maybe an inch. Still lovely and refreshing. Roads are clear so I easily made it to the coffee shop. As expected a few regulars there braving the weather on their bicycles. Not me! The sun was shining brightly by 9:00 am which allowed the more hardy souls to shed their jackets. Not me! I tell you this white stuff sure pulls out the fall colors.
I received word this morning that my cousin, Kevin, died of a heart attack yesterday evening. No details on a service but if anyway possible I would like to attend. So, I could be making a road trip to the panhandle of Texas.

The snow looks like a dusting of powdered sugar and it does make the leaves pop! Sorry to hear of your cousins passing.

Thanks, Faye. Pop may be the perfect word.

Wow, that snow really does make the colors pop!
Sorry to hear about your cousin. Hopefully you can make the road trip.

Thanks, Tom. Beautiful sunshine this morning with scattered clouds to add to the artwork of nature. Enjoy your weekend!

I agree with Faye, the snow cover really does pop those yellows.
Sorry about your cousin.

Thanks, Mark. I did not make the trip but will watch the video as they live stream these things now a days. I also watched a wonderful video of him and his family this morning. He had 9 grandchildren and was focused on family. He was known by his grandchildren as Pop-Pop. 😂 He was also well known in that small farming community so there will be a lot of people at the funeral today.
Yes, I love the yellow colors against the white snow.

I’ve heard that name “pop-pop” a few times recently in TV shows. I didn’t know it was a “thing” but apparently I am learning.
