Colorado Weather

In the sun it’s boiling hot;
In the shade it’s cold.
Don’t think I complain a lot
Just because I’m old.

My two brothers live here; one
Loves all the mountains’ range 
Of weather, from when snow’s begun
In summertime, so strange.

The other doesn’t live so high;
It’s warmer but still crazy.
One minute there’s a clear blue sky;
Next minute, all is hazy.

The temps they toggle up and down
By varying degrees 
And when you’re in a mountain town,
Just be prepared to freeze.

It‘s hard to know how one should dress
With fluctuations so.
This weather can cause mucho stress 
Unless you let it go.

"Rocky Mountain High" is no joke! I hope you packed thermal underwear, but remember the Native Americans were half-naked, so you will survive! Aloha!

I am amazed at how many people like Colorado weather. OTOH, I have a friend who moved out there for a year, built a home, etc., then decided they couldn't handle it, so they moved back to Kentucky. Who knows!
