Fabulously 40

Thanks a bunch to everyone who responded to my "Unscientific Restaurant Poll" with great suggestions and advice on where to go for my 40th birthday dinner. Here is a little recap, as promised.

Can we talk? It's about this wind we've been having. Since, oh, what was it, January? February? 2003? Basically, it just feels like it's never stopped being windy. Sure, there were a few days here and there when it wasn't windy. It was maybe breezy. And I even think there have b… Continue

Spring Comes to the East Mountains

It's been four springs since we moved to the East Mountains from the Northeast Heights of the Big City, and every year, I've delighted in watching life come slowly back to our land. When we bought this house, we also became stewards of not only junipers and pinons, but also a f… Continue

Welcome to ABQ! Hope you're liking it so far. You all should have been here *last* year--we had SO much snow it was unbelievable! I can post a few pics from last year's snow-stravaganza on my page to show you. I'm hoping it will snow soon, as well. :-)

Thanks for your nice comments on my postings/video!

Hi Rachael! I really enjoyed reading your postings back in November/December about the snow that fell around Thanksgiving. I liked the video of your dogs, too :o)
My partner and I and a good friend of ours just moved here from Phoenix about 3 weeks ago. We're looking forward to our first good snowfall.....hopefully it will happen soon :o)
