A Nice Enjoyable Day in SE Wyoming

So far March has been not to bad here in SE Wyoming, and Tuesday, 11 March, turned out to be a real nice day. Winds were down, skies were completely sunny and cloud free, and the temperature climbed into the lows 60s. Temps at lower elevations nearby in Colorado neared and reached 70 degrees. After I got off work, I went over to the park and enjoyed the nice afternoon for about 45 minutes. I saw many birds chirping in delight, and some squirrels made an appearance near me in hopes of a handout, but I did not have anything for the varmits and critters. Later when I returned home, I was able to leave the front door open for some time for the first time since last October to let the sunshine in during the very early evening hour as the door opens to the south which allows rays of sun inside which is very comforting after months of having the place sealed up to fend off the eternal cold and wind. But alas, once again, this nice day will not be repeated again soon, as cooler and incliment weather is forecast for the coming week and beyond, with the possibility of a March blizzard for the Colorado and Wyoming Front Range in the offing for next Monday and Tuesday. Lets hope it does not eventuate.
