Tuesday, February 10, 2009

Actually, Sunday was the 8th.  Sorry!

Tuesday
I woke up to about four or five inches of snow outside, and still snowing.  Beautiful day!  I love the snow.  After breakfast, I shoveled for about twenty minutes and then came back inside.  The snow was deep, and since it was fairly warm out, the snow was wet and heavy.  It took two more twenty minute sessions to get rid of the snow and the berm.  A couple hours later, the sun came out, and it was beautiful.

I had a seniors outdoors meeting, and as I was driving near here to get to the highway, I see a deer about to cross the road about a hundred feet in front of me.  I put on the brakes, and all the snow on my roof that had been loosened by the sunshine, all came forward onto my windshield and I couldn't see a thing!  I had to stop the car and put the wipers on to get rid of the snow .  .  . just in time to see the deer hop across the street in front of me.  I love my wildlife encounters!

The meeting was interesting.  We had a speaker on sacred places in the southwest.  The really cool thing is that he talked about an archeology club that hikes to a lot of these scared places.  I'm joining!  I'm very excited about that.  Before the meeting began, I talked to some people I knew, and then ran into Bernadette - - the woman I met at the last meeting.  I was hoping to see her again, because she had told me about a hike out by Cortez, and I wanted to ask her if I could go with her.  Yes!  So, when the snow melts again, we'll get together for what sounds like a cool hike to more Native American ruins.

On the way home, I saw a beautiful full moon over the mountains.
