Weather Has Me Thinking Spring!

Coming from the Midwest, we would not even begin to think of spring until maybe May!  However, living in New Mexico is a very different story. The weather here is fantastic, mostly because the sun is shinning most every day.  It is the desert, so at night and early morning it's cool but temps during the day have been very mild.  In fact, last week and this week temps have been hovering around 70! This is unheard of in Chicago. Today as I was outside looking around I even noticed baby plants beginning to sprout up!  I felt like running to the nursery to see what's available so, I could start planting...but I'll wait a bit because after all it is only February 10th.

Sorry the pics are not coming through today by way of my iPad!  It shows up until I publish :-(
Not sure what the problem is... Time to buy a new laptop I think...

But imagine if  you will baby green sprouts pushing through the ground...

My Diamond in the Rough!

I have heard about this place  . . . The river with a great trail . . .  Well I finally got to experience it when one of my granddaughters came to visit.  I knew she loved to be out in nature and to hike.  What a beautiful winter day, temp about 55, sun shinning brightly a perfect day to enjoy the beauty that surrounds me. The best part of this place... It's only about 15 minutes from home!
