Burl

I came across this tree walking today
David says it is a burl...not sure about spelling

For you Tara

A view from a nearby canyon
A snow covered winter's day...every thing is beautiful...in its own way...
That forest green roof in the center is ours and to the left is Tom and Ruth's place

December snow

Just some pics through the window cuz as you can see it was darn cold out there! The early morning sun made everything look rather inviting but I wasn't fooled...

great skies and snow on RWM

This was taken after previous snow/blizzard/wind storm and the sky makes every thing all better
Yesterday, at the beginning of my walk it was still coming down. That is David's wood wall.
The the sky opened up all in a hurry and cast wonderful shadows.
The fog rolling off of Crosby with the snow still managing to fall from a blue sky!!

What we did Saturday



Does anyone that is not on Facebook still look at my blog? I am going to wait a while and if I don't hear nothin' I am probably gonna just stick to that other thing.
Anyway, these beautiful brussel sprouts we grew in our garden...the last thing to harvest. And so I put up many, many bags full in the freezer after David spent hours harvesting them. I have a great recipe if anyone is interested. Maybe that is a way I will know if you are still looking here!

architecture

David painted this Zia on a shed that belongs to long lost friends of ours...not really, they were just gone for the summer!
They asked him to do it before they left but didn't know he did until they drove up and saw. Surprise!
This is a home in Albq designed by an eclectic architect.
The next door neighbor. Pretty cool huh? My dad and I stumbled across these 2 homes one afternoon while Mom was in hospital so I got out and acted all touristy. They probably get that a lot.

a perfect storm

We got wonderful thunder and lightning yesterday and then this pea size hail and rain storm.
In no time at all the ground was covered with white and it looked like snow.
The temp dropped to 49 degrees and I am sure my florida girl cousin was glad to be safely home. I bet this plant wishes it was with her!
This sunrise took place the day before and was what we could see fixing coffee out the kitchen window...nice.
