Gunnison Weather

For all you wondering, it was a nice 9 below zero this morning when I got up. Our weather has been nice and unseasonably warm. I am not complaining. Yes, -9 is warm for us. Usually it is -30 or below this time of year. There are days where -9 is our high. That might sound strange to all of you, but it is life in the Mountains. We love it and are use to it. It is sunny and nice. At 11 this morning, it was 10 above. I know it is 22 degrees below freezing, but you don't really notice it. I have actually been colder in Abilene on some of those upper 30's to low 40's days with rain and wind than I have ever been here. Dry cold is awesome, especially in the sun. Thor even loves it. He is spunky and energetic until it gets to about -25. Then he wants to be inside. -20 and warmer, he loves being outside doing who knows what. We play for about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on how much time I can afford. Tennis balls and then we switch to his Wiggly Giggly ball. He loves that thing and can entertain himself for the majority of the day. It is a 7 inch hard ball that makes noise every time it is moved. He has a 4 1/2 inch one also, but he loves the bigger one. He carries it all around the yard and even through the doggy door. Yeah, he has a huge mouth, just like me!!

Side Note:
Before I forget, January is the month that my dear friend Blair was born. Back in 1977 on the 6th (I think I am right here) Blair was brought into this harsh world and has brought light and laughter into it every day since. Blair, you are a great friend and I love and care about you and your family more than you will ever know. You are closer to me and mean more to me than family.
