Memorial Day?

Isn't Memorial Day supposed to be the unofficial opening of summer? I thought it was... or at least that is the rumor I have heard about that day. This year it was about as far away from 'summer' as it could be. With the rain, hail and snow that blew at any given time, and the cold air, and wind, and having to build a fire in the woodstove to warm up the house. There was really no desire to have a big picnic and bbque! Besides, we have ran so much that a lazy day with nothing to do sounded a bit like heaven!

So... lazy is what we did. We got naps, and did some errands we needed to do, and mostly just sat around doing nothing. The other kids were off with friends, or running around and Thayne, Kailee, Nate and I were at home and decided that we would go check out the snow that was still left in the canyon. We had heard that there was so much snow it had pushed a bathroom out into the middle of the road even! I love riding up in the canyon, it is so peaceful and beautiful. But it was cold! The higher we went, the colder it got.

It sure didn't feel like the unofficial beginnig of summer, but it was a nice relaxing ride and the view is beautiful....
