We had our first snow in southern Colorado about a week ago. Maybe 6 or 7 centimeters. The last few days have been delightful- 70 degrees F, (21 C). But the night shave been absolutely frigid, down to 28 F, (-2 C). It is a pleasure to live in southern Colorado.

(To all you Minnesotans and Michiganers, etc, rest asurred we will soon get our comeuppance. At about 7,500 feet elevation, we cannot deny old man winter for much longer).

Artbrooks- if you live in Albuquerque, we are almost neighbors. If you are ever heading north, like to Denver, take a left at Walsenburg for a 20 mile side trip to La Veta, and we will welcome you. The extra time spent will be very worthwhile, I can assure you. We really are having a blast up here, most of the time. And always love to meet new folks. Thanks, BlueJay
