Today we had the great opportunity to visit our good friend who lives way (did I mention WAY) up on a mountain in the
Black Hills. We enjoyed a good visit and she prepared a delicious meal for us. We still miss the man of the house who since Nov. 23 has been enjoying his new home in heaven.
We enjoyed watching the deer who our friend calls "the girls". Jeff brought along some corn as a special treat for the girls. This is about as close as they would get since they are not very familiar with us. They did enjoy the corn though.
Even the click of my camera would spook them. They certainly are Gods beautiful creation.
It started to snow as we traveled to the higher elevation and it snowed the whole time we were there.
It was so white and bright out.
What a beautiful winter wonderland.
It was almost hard for us to believe we were less then an hour from our home where there is no snow.
OK, Just a little still on the North shaded areas.
It was about 28 degrees and the roads and hills were white with snow and big piles of the white stuff where the roads had been cleared. We were thankful for our 4 wheel drive Tahoe.
As we drove home, the temp kept rising until it hit 42 degrees and the picture below shows the bare hills here in Rapid City. I know the picture is very fuzzy but you can get the idea. We need moisture so hopefully in the near future we will get more snow or rain. It is amazing what a few miles or a few minutes of driving can make. I hope you have all had a beautiful day and had the privilege and opportunity to attend a Ash Wednesday church service today. We made it back for our 6 PM service with 1/2 hr to spare.

Great photos. Amazing at how close you were able to approach the deer. Hope you have been getting some more of the recent storms to help end the drought.
