Labor Day Weekend....
Friday at noon, I received an email from my boss that we could have the rest of the day off so I headed for hunting camp. Archery hunting season opened this morning but I went up to help Gary get ready. After we satup the styrofoam targets, we practiced. I had fun learning how to shoot with the bow that Gary built and was delighted when I actually hit the target!
It was 80 degrees and clear blue sky when I left Friday; Saturday it was in the high 70s and a little windy; yesterday it was cloudy and in the 60s and it rained last night. This morning we had 6 inches of snow on the ground, foggy and windy. I left hunting camp at noon today and arrived back in Rock Springs at 2:45. I could only go about 25 mph on the 48 miles of snowy muddy graveled road but it was quite enjoyable in my Jeep Cherokee. By the time I got to Kemmerer, the closest town, I had to stop and wash all my windows so I could see. It will take lots and lots of quarters to get my jeep back to its original color!
After I got back to Rock Springs, I went over to see my daughter and grand daughters who were over at their other grandmother's house. I visited and played until they left for home at 4:00.
I had a wonderful weekend but will be happy to sleep in my own bed tonight! It's back to work tomorrow!
Hope you all had a great time!

It was only 40 degrees this morning and I had to turn on the heater in the bathroom when I took my shower. Winter is just around the corner and I am NOT looking forward to it.

Wow, shooting with a bow and arrow, that's the real thing! I am impressed, Jo.
And your weekend sounds special indeed. Meeting new friends in such beautiful surroundings.
I just forget how much colder Wyoming is. Snow in the higher elevations Labor Day weekend. Wow again.

It's a relief from the heat.
The monsoon season was supposed to be over this week but we still had weather in the 100's and HIGH humidity ffs...a little snow sounds good!
