Arriving in Colorado

Today's the first day of my vacation. Started out the day at 0625. Behold the power of not having to be anyplace. Ah, well.
Got the packing all finished, then headed out to DFW. Stopped for a few hours at my LYS (which, unfortunately, is now 2 hours from my house) to say "hi" to the girls there. I did buy a pair of needles (Brittany rosewood--beautiful) and dh bought another skein of green sock yarn for the monster-socks-to-be. I'll keep you informed on those if they ever materialize (who says boys don't have stash?!)
After we'd said hello and goodby to MaryJane and all my other buddies there (and helped a random customer pick up the gusset for her sock), we dropped our car off at a friend's house and headed for the airport. I hate the DFW airport, but at least we didn't have to leave our car there this time.
Flight was relatively uneventful until we started descending into Denver, then things got a bit hairy. Thankfully, we survived anyway. And all three pieces of our checked baggage also made it safe and sound. :-)
My wonderful little brother (well, at 6'4" or 5", he's not so little anymore) picked us up from the airport, and even let us have the use of his car for the week. It's a Subaru, which is good, because Subaru is apparently the officially sanctioned car of Colorado. The only wrinkle in this plan is that his car is a standard, and it's been like 18 months since I drove a standard. So what's a smart way to get used to driving a standard again? Why, driving in the mountains, of course! :->
While I drove from Denver to Breckenridge, dh took pictures:
(I would like to put a picture here, but dh's computer and the internet are not playing nice. Windows may not, in fact, be all bad--on my PC I can get the pictures to upload--no dice on this whatever this thing is running!!!!!!!)

On arriving to our condo, we found something I did not expect:
(insert picture of snow here) Looks like it will just have to wait for a week until I get home and upload it from my computer.

Yes, this is snow. Piled up in a pile directly under our front porch. Welcome to Colorado.
