We finally got some snow!!! About a foot. Forecast is for a little more in a day or so. We need as much as we can get.
One photo was taken yesterday and the other photo today. Both were taken with my cell phone through the windows. The deer like to cruise by and eat some bird seed.
There was a “People’s March” on Saturday. There was a good turnout. Along with a number of adult speakers, there were four young high school students that addressed the crowd. It is their future and they are concerned.

On Friday morning, my friend Werner came over. He brought bread from the bakery and cream cheese and homemade jam. We sat in the entryway eating the bread, drinking tea and talking as the sun poured through the windows and warmed our bodies.
Werner and I always have good conversations about relationships, spiritually and getting older. Today was no exception.
Somewhere in the conversation I mentioned when hiking “the trail provides”. I’m sure you’ve heard the expression and experienced it as well. The parallel is “the Universe provides”
The trail provides.
We’d been talking about community. There’s a great bonded community that happens on the trail.
Everyone from all walks of life and different ages all share the same experiences and it bonds people together into a mobile dynamic community all with a shared sense of purpose.
And we reflected that that’s what our planet needs…a diverse community with shared experiences that bonds strangers together to work for a common purpose. What would that take? Perhaps drastic climate change, Werner suggested.
Saw this display on Montezuma County Road M outside of Cortez on the way to do a hike. The display had many moving items and was not just in front of the house, but extended up and down the road on either side of the house.. There was Christmas music playing. There were strings of lights everywhere. This place must be something at night when it is all lit up. The house is on a rural county road and not in a neighborhood. I have a friend who is in Cambodia and she sent me photos of Angkor Wat and I sent her these photos in return.
