No snow yet

5 02 2025

A little bit of a throwback, as the recent wind (for the last few days?!) was reminding me of the day the wind brought snow. No snow since then, but Seneca always looks beautiful waiting for it!

Looking south, that’s snow coming over the southern ridges of Disappointment Valley.

Seneca was named by me, but it was a name Pati Temple liked and wanted to use as a foal name. She was from New York state, and “the Seneca were the largest of six Native American nations which comprised the Iroquois Confederacy or Six Nations, a democratic government that pre-dates the United States Constitution. The historical Seneca occupied territory throughout the Finger Lakes area in Central New York, and in the Genesee Valley in Western New York, living in longhouses on the riversides.

She is a pretty gal! πŸ™‚ And very sweet and laidback. We’re crossing fingers and toes and everything possible that we GET the snow that’s in this coming week’s forecast!

She is a beauty. In a sense you and Patti jointly named her, TJ, and that’s very cool. πŸ™‚

Pati was a force of nature, wasn’t she? She left her imprint and her legacy all over Spring Creek Basin.
