Even more snow!

The storm is over and the shoveling begins. I took an interesting timelapse of the clouds where the lower layer went in one direction and the upper in another.

We’ve now had about 9.5 inches so far with more on the way. Santa Fe and the surrounding area have been the bullseye for this slow moving system. Tonight and tomorrow, Las Vegas, NM is predicted to get up to 4 feet! Not looking forward to snow shoveling.

Snow, sunsets and shock 11_6_24

Posted on November 6, 2024 by Jabo

We are stunned, angry and deflated by the huge loss yesterday. There’s no denying the impact this will have on us. So as a small consolation, here is today’s storm and previous days sunsets. Nature will continue and will not go away and neither will we.

South Pasture Trail 10_14_24

Posted on October 17, 2024 by Jabo

We spent Monday morning hiking down to the Pecos River on the South Pasture Trail located in the Pecos National Historic Monument. It’s one of our favorite trails and this time we were there to harvest some salt cedar for Joan’s art. Each year the park allows a limited of fishing permits along the river and those we ran into said the fishing was good!

Fall colors 10_10_24

Posted on October 15, 2024 by Jabo

Our usual anniversary tradition has been driving up the Ski Basin Road to see the aspens changing to their Fall colors. Sadly, this year the road is being paved and it’s closed before you can get up to Aspen Vista (the prime viewing area). Happily, we found a nice alternative hike at the nearby Black Canyon campground.

Asheville flooding 9_24

Posted on October 1, 2024 by Jabo

One of Hurricane Helene’s sad aftermaths is the flooding of the Asheville River Arts District which we visited last September. We especially enjoyed the non-profit, volunteer run fiber arts store, Local Cloth. The nearby French Broad River rose over 17 feet above its banks and completely flooded the businesses and art galleries (more news here).

Since the area is still without power, water and other necessities; it’s too early for any way to help out these artists other than give to the Red Cross (and maybe specify the ARAD with your donation). I think it’s also important to note that this is yet another tragic consequence of the very real impact of climate change.

Below are some more photos from our visit and one from this past week.
