snowy, snowy day

The wintry weather was to began sometime in the night. Below freezing temps. 1” snow. Some snow flurries expected.

Instead, it was closer to 4” of snow. And many snow flurries!

How to begin this day? Well, a warm fire was a good place to start.

The many windows in the casa where I’m staying here in Taos, offered wonderful snow views.

One of the llamas down the road looked so cool in their garb.

Several hours after the snow storm began, it felt like it was time to take a drive.

But first I needed to remove the snow off the car. It was loaded.

I found a broom to knock down snow, and to sweep the 12” of snow off the ground around the car.

Then I headed north.

Lots of white joy!

Then my friend called; she wanted to have a look-see of all the snow beauty.

Off we went.
