One can actually watch the storms come over the mountains here. Yesterday, we awoke to a steady snowfall, and we drove through nearly white out conditions to have brunch with our gallery owner friends Larry and Linda. By the time we left the restaurant at 2:30, the sun was shining and the snow had completely disappeared!
Mark Twain wrote "If you don't like the weather in New England, then wait a few minutes." In these times of extreme climate changes, his statement could apply to all 50 states.
Twain was no doubt smiling with us at the beautiful
sunset we witnessed this evening over the Cerillos Mountains. A promise of 70
degree weather by the end of the week. Love this place!!!!
Out here, we are surrounded by elemental energies: wind, air, sun, water in the forms of snow, clouds and rain. There are those who think the high desert is dead, dry and dull. But it isn't so: God paints the skies for us in different ways every day, birdsong abounds, jackrabbits tempt the dogs outside the coyote fence, the light is crystalline, and we feel the presence of creativity within the spaces of these ancient lands every day.
