Colorado

On two different days last week the atmosphere proceeded to dump snow on Denver - after several days of it being sunny and 60 degrees. Snow makes traffic harder and late night walks trudging through the deep powder may seem a bit unpleasant, but it is winter and I feel it is to be expected.

Nonetheless, only 24 hours after our second day of snow fall (Wednesday) it was back to crisp, sunny weather - and by the time Monday rolled around it was 65 degrees and beautiful.

I love how Colorado just kind of does its own thing when it comes to weather. Colorado says, "You can't put me in a box or define me by a "season," I will do what I want when I want." I think it used to frustrate me to not know what to expect, but as time has gone on I've come to find that I kind of enjoy the spontaneity of it. I love the spring-like days in the middle of winter, and I love when winter is wintery. Both are beautiful in their own ways.

I know when Spring comes it will be beautiful and it will suddenly snow a couple of times in April and people will wonder what is going on. It might even snow in May. - and quite honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it snowed in the middle of July with the surrounding days in the 80's.

Is it hard to predict? Sure. Do I like when traffic flow changes because of weather? No. Can it be annoying? Definitely.

But I love it. I love Colorado in all of its seasons. In it's rebellious nature. ...and I just keep falling more and more in love with so many other aspects of this state. A state I feel good about calling "home."
