Winter??????

Leny got up this morning and looked out the window.  Convinced she had been transported back to New Hampshire, she returned to the bed with a sorrowful and apprehensive sharpradorial expression:




She had looked out of several windows and realized that the white precipitation that had accumulated over the preceding evening was not an illusion or the product of some bad bone turks:

Yes, a winter storm had hit Las Cruces and left its detritus all around the mud shack.  And besides, Weetz had grabbed the best location to be in on such a day:

Life can just be frustrating sometimes for a New Hampshire transplant to the Southwest.

Smart dogs staying inside. 5 above zero @ 6 am today according to the weather channel. Time to think about moving. Desert too cold in the winter too hot in the summer. Where o where. San Diego may be the only answer as it has the best year round weather in the US. but who can afford to live there. Hmm maybe Helen would like to go back to work. fred
