• • • On the last day of September we got our first snow of the year, and lots of it. Everyone was befuddled by the early, sudden snow, even the pups! Please entertain me as I lie here sick in bed by leaving your title, caption, or Charlie thought bubble in the comment section of this post. Do so, and you will automatically be in the running to win a Wyoming care package: an assortment of 100-million-year-old dahlites (click here & scroll down to see them) and an arrowhead handknapped by MC!
