Spring is here---wait, no it's still winter!




While most parts of the country are seeing the buds and green grass, we are just getting winter here. After having only 12 total inches of snow all year in Denver up till now, we've gotten two snowstorms and cold weather for the entire month of March it seems and so far the beginning of April. (Okay so we had two 75 degree days where I swam in the pool.)




Most people would be discouraged to get snowstorms in April, but after having such a dry winter, any moisture is welcome! My skin is so dry and everything is so brown that i'll take anything we can get. It's also nice to be able to be lazy and lay on the couch on a saturday and not feel too guilty. The winter was so mild that we didn't really get stuck inside like you do most winters.




I'm looking forward to May though I have to admit, which is my favorite month out here. I'm anxious to start hiking and hopefully training for the BolderBolder which takes place every May. It's a famous running event where thousands of people come from all over the country to run or watch. (I may end up being the spectator if I don't get my butt in shape:)
