Spring!?!?

The snow went down a bunch yesterday, which concurrently means the emergence of mud. It didn't snow yesterday, which was a blessing. It was clear and cold last night, but only got down into the lower 20s, which was a blessing. Maybe it will be sunny and melting today, which will be a blessing. SOOO tired of winter!

We have survived Mancos Melt and the trip around the San Juan Skyway, delivering the Arts Perspective magazines. The issue shown at www.artsperspective.com/index.php is the previous issue, but it gives you an idea of what AP is about. Now we can do our taxes, work at Artisans, attend some show receptions, birthdays, farewells and get ready for another trip south. We've decided to spend our anniversary away. It was a choice between going to Moab and going back down to Silver City ... Silver City won. We were going to de-winterize the Casita travel trailer and take it, but with night-time temperatures still falling into the teens and lower 20s, and with the Casita still buried in a snowbank and a foot of snow covering most of the landscape, it's not time to de-winterize! So, we'll zip down in the Radish (little red Subaru sedan) and look around Silver City unencumbered. Maybe we'll take Condo down in mid-summer to really check out how bad the summer heat gets in that area.

In the meantime, dawn comes again to the Mancos Valley and we need to go visit the rec. center and keep working on the weight loss and fitness program. tv
