Corn Stalks and Snow

In California, we used to boast that it was possible to swim in the ocean in the morning, and ski the slopes in the afternoon (not that we ever actually did that).

But where else but Idaho can you see corn stalks and snow in the same photo? I took these photos this morning after dropping the kids off at school, at 9am. For those of you who know Boise, these are taken from Chinden and Mountainview Drive. It was a crisp 48 degrees when I snapped this photo, too. There's not a whole lot of snow up there, but what you see in the background is light snow on Bogus Basin, our local ski resort, just a few miles outside of town. Snow on Bogus on October 2nd? Looks like it could be a good season!
