Skywatch Friday!!!


Do you remember my shot of the Sherwin mountains from the late summer early fall???  This is the view getting off  Highway 395 going south from June Lake...I actually stopped on the off ramp to take the pics!!!  I am entranced by how different the mountains can look...I drive up from Bishop and can hardly keep my eyes on the road...the shadows change on a daily basis...the textures of the mountains, the snow...


Don't you just love the snow swirls???

Ugh!!! What's an Uprooted Urbanite to do with the letter "U"???




Yep..it's the letter "U"!!!

The upshot of it all is that it is not Uncommon for recent Uplanders who have Unplugged from their roots down south to take up the Unique or Uncommon sport of Cross Country skiing...


Far be it from me to be the Unruly newcomer who doesn't brave an occasional Upheaval in the snow while learning this Uncommon sport!!!  All I need is a pair of Ultra Rossignol's!!!

Ugh!!!  Boy am I glad it's another 365 days before the letter "U" comes up again!!!

Yesterday I did go to the Tamarack Lodge to scope out the how to's of learning to cross country ski...and am definitely looking forward to learning how to Unplug in this Uncommon way!!!

Frosty's Girlfriend...



I know...she looks a bit frazzled...she was fresher yesterday when I didn't have my camera.
But then what can you expect when you live in the forest at the side of the road and a darned snow fall comes around and drops 4 inches of snow on you???

Scrooge's Dream...

We attended the Mammoth Lakes Foundation dinner last night...an organization originally founded by Dave and Roma McCoy to support the Cerro Coso College.   
Our evening included attending the third viewing of the community theater's production of 
Charles Dicken's Christmas Carol.

Mr. and Mrs. Fezziwig's Christmas party during Scrooge's Christmas Past visitation...


The Spirit of Christmas Present...

Part of the fun of small town community theater is sitting in the audience and recognizing the cast members!  Now, we've only been in town for 5 months, and we already were recognizing quite a number....several Rotarians (including the Spirit of Christmas Present), the guy who fixed our thermostat, our neighbor and local realtor, one of the post office women...

What was most astounding about this evening though...was finding out that this was the Hubman's very first time seeing A Christmas Carol!!!

Now, on many occasions, I've taken the granddaughters, my step-daughter and our daughter-in-law all to see this at the Glendale Center Theater, which is always an outstanding production...and never once did he mention that he had never seen this play...

I am remiss in my duties as the Chieftess in that I did not know this...I swear a solemn oath to pay more attention to the Hubman's cultural exposure in the future!!!

(Somehow...I just don't think he's as concerned as I am!)

Learning to Navigate in the Snow...

Sadie reminds me a little of me...
Snow is a new experience...


Getting around in it kind of depends on how deep it is...


Sometimes we're overly cautious....


Sometimes we just have to go for it...


And sometimes, it's just smarter to stay inside and hang out (like Cleo)!
