Real Gritty Charm

Posted on April 15, 2021April 15, 2021Author leadcocCategories Letters from Lead Posts

Good Morning! The Homestake Opera House is one of my favorite places in Lead. I even love that it’s kind of only half way restored. In a strange way, it helps us not take it for granted – and it gives it a dynamic quality that if it were just a big beautiful perfect building … Continue reading Real Gritty Charm

When We Meet Again

Posted on April 8, 2021Author leadcocCategories Letters from Lead Posts

Good Morning! The other day I was talking with my mom about what might happen if we could meet the 18 year old version of ourselves. I would really want to sit down and chat with her as if we were strangers that had never met before. My 18 year old self wouldn’t recognize me … Continue reading When We Meet Again

Go Ahead and Try

Posted on April 6, 2021April 6, 2021Author leadcocCategories Letters from Lead Posts

Happy Day! A few weeks ago at a city commission meeting a complex issue came up (what is was I can’t remember) but one of the commissioners asked, “What if we set a precedent that we later regret?” The mayor had a good come back, “We can always change it.” My friend’s company is undergoing … Continue reading Go Ahead and Try

De-Scrungeing Life

Posted on March 25, 2021Author leadcocCategories Letters from Lead Posts

Happy Sunny Morning! Can you believe we’ve almost made it through March? I’ve mentioned before that March is my twelfth favorite month (followed closely by my eleventh favorite month, April). These are the dull drums of the year. On the plus side, the days are longer, the snow is disappearing, and even the storms are … Continue reading De-Scrungeing Life

Look Up! Look Back!

Posted on March 18, 2021Author leadcocCategories Letters from Lead Posts

Happy Sunny Morning! Life is a slog. Which I don’t mean in a negative sense, but boy, is there a lot to get done!! Sometimes the sheer repetition and routine can distract us from the big picture. The other day someone asked how I do it (when I outline everything I’m doing, even I get … Continue reading Look Up! Look Back!

Do You Hear It?

Posted on March 11, 2021March 11, 2021Author leadcocCategories Letters from Lead Posts

Good Morning Loyal Readers! Do you hear that? … Listen closely! … It’s very faint, but there’s a strange noise coming from the horizon… the rumble of a tidal wave! While last year was hard to predict, we ended up with incredible numbers of people coming to visit our great state from all over the … Continue reading Do You Hear It?

Trainloads of Grapes

Posted on March 4, 2021March 4, 2021Author leadcocCategories Letters from Lead Posts

Happy Thursday of a spectacularly beautiful week! We’ve been enjoying the cheery sunny weather and balmy temperatures (40-50) with even nicer weather coming this weekend. It’s hard to believe that just a few weeks ago it was -20! Hopefully you’ll get to get out and enjoy it if you haven’t already! Last week I wrote … Continue reading Trainloads of Grapes

Sunny Side Up!

Posted on February 25, 2021February 25, 2021Author leadcocCategories Letters from Lead Posts

Good Morning! Lead is a funny place, houses mashed up on the sides of the hills and a crazy zig zag of one way streets and streets that probably should be one way, but thankfully aren’t. Add to the complexity all the snow and ice we get and you are in for one wild ride … Continue reading Sunny Side Up!

Start Shoveling!

Posted on February 18, 2021Author leadcocCategories Letters from Lead Posts

Happy Thursday (already?!) My mom (who graduated from Lead Deadwood High School) mentioned the other day how interesting it is to see her classmates and other people she knows (me included) really find a way to carve out a living here. It can be difficult when so many jobs are seasonal. I had a wild … Continue reading Start Shoveling!

Crispy Crunchy Cold Cold COLD

Posted on February 11, 2021February 11, 2021Author leadcocCategories Letters from Lead Posts

Goooood Morning! It’s hard to believe that just a little over a week ago it was in the 60’s here in Lead. Tonight and tomorrow it’s supposed to get down in the negative teens and twenties (that’s FIFTY degrees below freezing)! They’re warning that windchills might be as low as -40 this week which means … Continue reading Crispy Crunchy Cold Cold COLD

About Letters From Lead

Hello! I write letters from Lead every Thursday (the normal schedule but sometimes it deviates). I write about things I love about our town, thoughts on life here, and random musings. I also include what’s going on in Lead and the immediate vicinity, with general notes on events and happenings.

If you’d like to subscribe to future emails you can sign up here. If you have recently signed up and want to just read the letter portion it’s included below for you. Events and happenings have been omitted from these letters.

-Sierra, Director
