Winter (noun)....the three month break between a woman and her razor.



     It most definitely is spring.  I doubt we will be getting a snowstorm any more this year.  Time to break out summer shorts and a razor!  Some of Colorado's ski resorts are closing early for lack of snow. Ornamental pear trees are starting to bloom....beautiful.  It could hit 85 degrees tomorrow.  
     We could certainly use some rain, though.  The wildfire SW of our home was 45% contained as of last night.  Some evacuated families are being allowed home today. Unfortunately, the weekend is predicted to be windy again.

     Did you read the book "Born to Run"?  One of the featured runners, Caballo Blanco, AKA Micah True from Boulder, is currently missing.  He went out for a 12 mile run on Tuesday from the Gila Wilderness Lodge in New Mexico, and has not been heard from since.  Keep positive thoughts for him.  Search and rescue continues.

     Dean had chemo treatment #5 today.  All went well.  He is scheduled for 5 more treatments after today, with a week off after every two treatments.  Spending Fridays in a chemo clinic is educational.  Depending on how busy their schedule, they see 30-50 people a day.  Family members are there, also. People read, doze, and play video games to pass the time. Life goes on as usual, only with an IV inserted in one's arm...the new norm.   


Random Fact---If you type "askew" into Google, the whole page tilts.
   
(P.S.  As of tonight, the Lower North Fork wildfire near us is 70% contained!)
