Here I am in southwestern New Mexico, "enjoying" the weather, which is very similar to that at home. Today it is cold, the wind is howling with occasional sprinkles (that feel like pebbles, the wind is blowing that hard) and I have on my silk polar longies, heavy jeans a long-sleeved turtleneck knit shirt and a heavy sweater and that is just while sitting in the motel room. To go outside I don my 3/4 length down parka and warm gloves.
I had planned on driving to one of the local wineries today to order a couple of cases to be sent home (for gifts later on) but the road to the place was closed due to blowing sand and dust, visibility -zero.
I took care of most of the business I had to do this morning and am putting off going out to my dad's house until tomorrow. Hopefully the weather will be less dreary and I will feel less dreary.
I've enjoyed nibbling on the grain cakes I made last week. They are just enough to satisfy my cravings for something that seems like a snack but without all the bad stuff in the commercial things.
More later, Aston (the basenji dog) is asking to go outside and it's best to take notice immediately as he is not one to wait long.
