My drive from home to Willimas Lake - March 30, 2002

The sun came out today.

The first snow fell today - all above 9,000 ft. but close to home at 8,000 ft.!!!

Finally, the end of February and we're getting snow!

Folk art doll planters - Southern New Mexico artist Dolores J. Duenez - aren' t they wonderful?

Looking out the northwest living room windows - the first snow of the year 2006. A beautiful day with clouds which finally lifted from the San Juans and I could see snow. At our house, 7500 ft. : rain.
The 14,000 ft. peaks are white!

Pagosa Springs is a gorgeous little town...this is only part of my trip to the post office...I live in a wonderful teeny town!

The city boys go to the farm...a pig farm, I think, in north Thailand.

Area between Aztec via Ruins Road to Cedar Hill/Hwy 160 - early fall.

Beauty fades...but the soul blossoms.

Drove to Bayfield; stopped at a car wash; stopped by Harry's property with the beautiful barn and stone building...bad light but I couldn't resist stopping.

My little Penn has his own album for 2007...he's maturing but still SO much fun and spunk to liven my days and comfort my evenings.

Shots out the windows of 777 Easy Street ------- lots and lots of snow; I don't know how many inches.

A boring non-stop trip to Bayfield and back to Pagosa Springs...quick business trip...so cold...Penn and Sherrill - just an album of bad pics taken while the car was whizzing along.

Chasing and eating snowballs!!!

Out through the windows and around the house...

Driving to and from Bayfield from Pagosa Springs was almost a white-out - however, the roads weren't frozen, as the snow had just begun falling. Tonight there will be icy, treacherous roads!

As I'm driving..........

Dreary weather - a drive to Bayfield, back to Pagosa Springs, then south on 84 towards Chama to Chromo - I turned around due to black ice and strong cross winds.

Around the yard and house...

Removing the last of Donnie's belongings from his Colorado property.

New growth, pine cones...forest...San Juan National Forest areqa in Colorado but on private land.

Teri sent me Spring flowers today...all I have is mud and snow...these are "my" Spring flowers, too!

April snow...as usual.

Such wonderful treats magically appear at my house - they always make me so happy! TeriJane and Jennifer found all these treats that are beautiful and fun...the green crocs will have the Lady Bug jibbitz on today! Wait until I put on the Magic Dress!!!

From the deck at home..........towards the beautiful mountains; the Spring rains brought the green grasses.

The yard on Easy Street and Penn on the deck...

At Will's house-sitting and taking care of his garden. He and Susin were in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The old Community Hospital now CDOT headquarters in Durango...but what happened to the southwest end of the building - ????? The building and the landscaping are gone!

Coster is mowing! We have a new 22 HP mower!

Norris and Mikey have visitors.

Down highway 84 towards Chama lives Mr. Brown who raises many garden fruits and vegetables...his garlic is delicious and FRESH!!!!!!!!!

Pagosa Springs, Colorado Post Office windows - and the Russian Sage across the street.

Darryl mixes small amounts of concrete for the supports under the south deck.

The driveway begins to take "shape" - more gravel will be delivered tomorrow...what a muddy mess! This album will track the garage's progress.

TeriJane, Mikey and Dylan hit the road for camping fun!

Too many deer and elk in the yard...I caught this blossom the day before it was eaten.

Exercise ball...and Navajo handcrafted sterling silver baby teething ring from Big Rock Trading Company, near Waterflow, New Mexico, USA

Prius and other cars moved so Darryl can move the snow!

TeriJane has a special eye and touch for tie-dye. She creates extraordinary clothes for adults, children and babies. TeriJane also creates and sells batik clothing as Sweet Pea. I will post her website when it is created.

July 27, 2003 - Tucker's old neighborhood...some places look good, some are a bit run down. Used to be beautiful.

Gardening at 912 N. Monterey looks very good!

In Farmington, New Mexico for a small but enjoyable air show...I saw the Stealth fly over and got really excited. It didn't land - just a fly over & back to Alamogordo, NM.

Short trip from Pagosa Springs, Colorado to Farmington, NM, Albuquerque, back to FMN, back to Pagosa Springs, Colorado.

Hiking in New Mexico's Four Corners area on June 14, 2003. Cousins Will & Alex Smith.

BEFORE the haircut...

Alex Smith visits Pagosa Springs...

Betty & Martin Woods went to Egypt and left their Amarillis in my care - it bloomed while they were gone.

These need to be sorted.

Just a sampling of my artwork...as I said, it is odd, but it is just for me!

Part of our annual trip to Las Cruces, NM in 2003 was a wonderful visit to Benny & Elva Fenn's - not only are they terrific people, but they are creative and exciting.
