We woke up this morning to a dusting of snow in Cheyenne. The last snowfall of the season happened on Mother’s Day (May 11) and the first snowfall of this season happened on September 11. That makes for a relatively short summer season. I am grateful that we are going back into the 70’s over the weekend, and I am also appreciative that this snowfall required no shoveling.
The snowfall in May required a great deal of shoveling if you recall. Although I don’t miss the heat and humidity of summer in Missouri, the winter season does seem extremely long in Wyoming. I hope this isn’t an indication of how long it is going to be this year.
Tomorrow, I will be traveling to Hartville, Wyoming. It is the oldest incorporated town in Wyoming that is still in existence (according to their website). I am presenting a workshop to the catechists from the mission parishes of Lusk and Guernsey. Although I will miss seeing their churches by having the workshop in an alternate location, I am looking forward to experiencing another piece of Wyoming history.
I will leave you with two last pictures comparing the May 11 snowfall with the September 11 snowfall. Basically, these pictures are sending myself a message.”Stop being lazy and put the mower in the garage instead of on the porch!”
