 |
| it’s been cold here, cloudy inversion weather. for those of you who don’t live in the area (i'd never heard of it until we moved here), it’s when cold temps get trapped in the valley by a layer of cloudy muckedy muck. and it’s no fun…unless you get above it, which we did today. it’s was also the first ride of the year! not a bad way to kick the inversion in the muck. |
 |
| you see the layer of white? that’s the top of the clouds, boise is under there somewhere… |
 |
| the view from the top was beautifulboth kiddos asked to go again tomorrow…my legs say nope. must.do.more.squats. |
 |
| shane and lyla relaxing, enjoying the last few hours of california sunshine…(for lyla anyway:) |
 |
| lyla loved on the mangy chicken, it was molting, but she didn’t seem to care. |
 |
| sometimes the young peacocks get confused and try to court the chickens…poor guy |
