Snow!!!


On Christmas day, our good friends Jim and Judy invited my mom, Sam and I to Judy's parents house, the Harpers. They live in Willcox and we last saw them 14 years ago. We haven't forgotten!


Judy's mom comes from a large family, so there were aunts, uncles and cousins, plus other add-ons, like us.


And lots of entertaining stories. It was a really fun time.


On Wednesday Sam installed the bedroom unit of the mini-split. The cats are always curious and like to inspect.


We also worked on the exterior covers for the electrical, refrigerant and drain lines, but it got pretty cold and windy outside.


By 10 p.m. we had an inch of snow!


Thursday we woke up to a beautiful sight. We've been looking forward to this for months.


Sam huddled the cars for warmth and protection from the blizzard.


We're hoping the collard greens survive.


Our Canadian friends, Linda and Gord, kept sharing their "real" snow pictures, until Sam couldn't stand the competition and sent back his actual "truck in a snowbank" photo. That'll show them!


We thought it would melt by 10 a.m., but there's still a lot on the ranch and Rincon Peak.


By 2 p.m. Friday . . . blizzard's over!

Although an hour ago (Saturday afternoon), driving back on the PPR from a shopping trip, we still see snow on the roof of the little house!

I hope you all stay warm and dry this weekend.
