Our plans to be in Rodeo, NM were thwarted by slippery roads, we instead boosted the thermostat a few degrees, snuggled in and stayed put. Another day in Columbus, NM. I'm fairly certain we could have inched along Highway 9 west using our Yooper winter driving skills but as Jackie says, "These people down here just do not know how to drive on ice." I deferred to the her voice of reason.
Two sheriff cars and six Border Patrol vehicles were zooming in and around the main (only) intersection just outside of the park this morning. They stopped every car and truck coming and going, checking the drivers papers and giving them a good going over.
For the flora in the park this snow is a welcome drink. Southern New Mexico remains well below normal precipitation and is slowly dying, Even a cactus needs some water.
Just another day in the life of a House Finch.
We can all take a lesson from this guy. Take life as it comes and deal with it. Don't fret, don't worry and most of all, don't project into our lives problems of which we have no control.
~~MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE~~
