Yep, while Austinites are sweating it out because there is almost no spring in Texas, Aspenites are enjoying some cray-zay weather, going from bluebird skies and temps in the 70s to freezing rain in mere minutes. Springtime in Aspen is notoriously fickle, but the 70s days far outnumber the downpour that was yesterday, so it’s well worth it.
In a moment of sun yesterday, I went on an impromptu hike halfway up Aspen mountain with a woman I had never met. Our dogs were playing, and we ended up just hiking on up, talking and watching the dogs play. It was really neat, and I hope to run into Shirsten again. Anyway, enjoy the view from springtime in Aspen:
