Okay, it did snow. Bah. Maybe four inches, tops. Not so bad! And it does look pretty, even if melting snow dripped a little from our skylight and stovepipe. The dirt road is lots smoother, for the time being at least, and on my first foray out this a.m., I only had one near-collision.
Taos Mountain at 9:00 a.m. from my window
Actually, it could have been a bad one. I was crossing the acequia on Vista del Valle Road when a HUGE Dodge truck driven by what looked like a 15-year-old girl came roaring down the hill so fast, it skidded across the curve right in front of me. If I hadn’t seen her coming and knew she would slide, I might not have slowed down and waited for the inevitable. As it was, she recovered and went on her way. She really needed a spanking, but a) I wasn’t that mad because I saw it coming, b) I’d never lay a hand on someone I don’t know, c) she was just a kid who won’t live much longer anyway, and d), you can’t do things like that around here without getting shot.
Nice photo, eh? Just don’t expect me to Photoshop the power lines out of every picture I take of that mountain! (I did this time…)
