There’s an historic home downtown from the 1800’s that had a ginormous old cottonwood tree growing in front of it. Unfortunately, the tree got badly damaged in a storm a few years ago and had to be cut down. But they left the huge stump in place and recently turned it into a free library with a full-sized door, plus the same style cupola and slate roof tiles as the house. It’s pretty cool. 📚🌳

Peters had tried to prove that the machines had been used to rig the contest against #Trump.

Snow, snow, snow!
After a 4am greenhouse rescue when we lost power, we went back to sleep and then just shook snow off all the bushes and trees.
Hard to measure, but at least 9 inches of snow in the undisturbed places.
And now for the big melt!

The #DOJ sued #Colorado on Wednesday over a #state #law banning #HighCapacityMagazines, which was passed after a 2012 #MassShooting at a movie theater in Aurora, CO. It was the second lawsuit in two days that the #Trump admin has filed against #GunControl policies in the #Democratic-controlled state.
