A friend gave me this ornament with the Boston Terrier. The Boston has a very similar expression to Bandit.

Happy winter holiday of your choice from Miss Piggy and the rest of us at Five Acres with a View.
Spring Snow Storm
A few days ago, we had one of our occasional spring snowstorms, which dumps a lot of wet snow, while staying close to 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Colorado Springs and El Paso County shut down for two days so that public works could clear the roads.
I was house sitting in southwest Colorado Springs where we got a LOT of snow. This is probably more snow than I have seen on my Forrester in years.
The trees looked like this:
Jack in Bookstore
I took this photo in Santa Fe at Beastly Books.
Painted Stone
I saw this painted stone in the center of the stone maze near Ojo Caliente.
Hawthorn tree
Malaika
Cheyenne Mountain Zoo says goodbye to Malaika. We saw her at our visit to the zoo several weeks ago, and I read about how the zoo specifically developed its facilities to take care of elderly female African elephants.
Red River Hog
I saw this Red River Hog at Cheyenne Mountain Zoon. Here is what one looks like as a baby.
Giraffe
This fellow was in a paddock by himself (intact male) looking wistful at the other giraffes being fed by the visitors. So I bought him a bunch of lettuce and fed him the whole thing. (Cheyenne Mountain Zoo sells food for the animals as part of their fundraising. Feeding giraffes by hand is very cool. Their tongues are black.) (edited)
