  • Oh wait, it’s only 19 degrees outside

    One of the many joys of moving to Los Alamos, NM: Snow! I donned the snow pants and snow boots to walk around the block and take pics before it all melted away.

    It's not a snowpocalypse but I don't plan on driving down our street today unless absolutely necessary.
    Trees in a canyon near our house are covered in snow.
    Snow accumulates on the pine needles of a ponderosa pine.
    The Cat watching me with envious eyes as I wade around in the snow.
    We've accumulated three to four inches of snow since Friday.

     

     

     

  • Our first NM Christmas tree

    Mari and I picked up a nice 6ft tall Noble fir tree today. I think this is the first tree we’ve bought since living together that wouldn’t fit on a table. We were pretty excited to start decorating; even the cat got in on the fun.
