It's going to be a white Christmas in Colorado, whether us holiday travelers like it or not! In spite of the big, beautiful snowflakes, lots of our friends and family are not so happy that we've accumulated nearly a foot of snow here in the Denver metro area already. Luckily my flight to South Dakota is on Sunday, so hopefully we'll have dug ourselves out by then.
Here is a picture of our courtyard taken from our porch door. Look at the snow carefully balancing on our railing! The nearest little fence area is an urban garden during the summertime. They grow green peppers, zucchini and cucumbers here. The second fenced in area off in the distance is the dog run, where we take Koda every night. It's nice because the courtyard has tall walls and fences and you can only gain entrance with a key, so I feel safe taking the dog out at night by myself if needed. There's also a grill and tables with canopys out here, so we enjoy grilling out here when there's not 13 inches of snow on the ground.

Koda loves the snow and apparently thinks he's a sled dog. Whenever we hit a part of the sidewalk with a few inches of snow, he starts running full force. If only I had a sled! I wasn't able to make it into work today, so Koda and I went through a walk to meet Brandon in downtown Denver. He got off early and it's only about 7 blocks, so it was fun walking through the heart of the snow storm. Koda was wearing a bright blue bandana and looked so happy running through the snow that we got lots of smiles from the businessmen and women trudging through the snow. I even saw some ladies in heels, pantyhose and skirts- ouch! Let's hope they didn't have 7 blocks to walk.

Gorgeous!! Tell me you made snow angels!?
No snow angels yet! I need some snowpants, then I'll go for it. :)
It is darn deep and yet so beautiful isn't it? I just wished it waited one more day for Becki's sake. We can not hold any accountable but Mother Nature and she is just beyond our reach!! Well enjoy your day off it is kind of like a snow day from school. Merry Snowday!!
The pictures are beautiful! Everyone is talking about the crazy amount of snow CO got. I feel so bad Becki got trapped. I hope she's able to fly out asap and that there are no delays in your flight plan.
