Today we were trailer shopping. We got a good deal on one here locally. Sharon came up and took us out for supper for Joann’s birthday. We went to Chili’s. I could have walked in the afternoon, but didn’t. What a blessing the rain was. But, in talking to the guy we got the trailer from it’s going to take a lot more.  He’s also a rancher and they’ve already been warned that the irrigation water will begin this year at 50%. By July it could be down to 25% or less. So a lot of farmers and ranchers may be in dire straights this year. Please send more Lord!  This photo is from September 2013 as a storm passed over the valley.

Today it was dumping rain when we got up. Yay!  We decided to head to Grand Junction to look at a CanAm side by side. It was snowing huge flakes when we left at 11. We got more rain today than we have in many months  it was fantastic  

We ended up purchasing it…a 2025 HD7 EPS. We then went out to eat at Famous Dave’s for Joann’s birthday. No walk today.

Today was a bit cooler. This afternoon I headed up to Exhilaration for a walk. There was a breeze and it was cooler than it has been…actually just perfect. It was cloudy and there was rain approaching so I cut things short. I got back to the Jeep and it started raining sideways. After about five minutes it was over. It looks like the mountains are finally getting some snow. Thank you Lord.
