There are points in the year that we talk extensively about the “weird mountain weather.” Clouds come and take a nap on the lawn. The sky is split into two different weather patterns. Ominous banks of clouds skulk around the tops of mountains like teenagers menacing old folks at the local convenience store.
But the weird mountain weather is also beautiful in each of its weird mountain seasons.

Down this road is Moose Meadow, where there is planted a memorial cherry tree for our little nephew.

This is the view off the front porch of my non-existent house, overlooking snow-covered Newman Lake.
