Summer Color for a Winter's Day

A bit of summer color for a winter's day. And winter it is here in Western Washington where our morning temps have been in the teens. A tad farther south in Olympia, friends have been waking to numbers like 8 and 9. Burrrrrrr. What a difference a little distance and height make. We have risen in Taos, NM on days with similar temps or lower and marveled at how it feels warmer than it should. Add a bit of wind and NW humidity and those temps make my bones bark.

Why, I believe I'm whining. Hmm. Revised version. Though our winter temps have been dipping, what a delight to live where enough rain falls to lessen drought worries and keep the area green year round. We are truly lucky to be here. How am I doing? Hope you are getting all the things your area needs at this time, where ever You are. Enjoy!

Chris,
I know I am going to enjoy keeping up with your thoughts through this blog.And of course your photos are always awesome. I truly miss those Taos mornings with the smell of pinon wafting through the early morning air. And remember, it was Taos that brought us together.
Much love,
M

Marcine,
So happy you found the blog. You and John were synonymous with the magic created by and in Taos. And I am (no we are) so grateful for timing. When we could go, you were there and friendships were born.
Wishing you many more pinon memory moments. I can smell them too.
Chris
