I miss Taos right now - 

I heard that they just might have snow on the ground today.

THAT I don't miss.

I was never much of a snow person.

I skied, but mostly because other people in my family did

and I went along because they wanted me too.

I was always scared I was going to fall off of the chairlift

and everyone would laugh at me.

Or I would get my poles tangled up in something.

Or run into a tree, or someone would run into me.

I remember the time I fell and my ski came off and went sailing

up a catwalk about 300 feet away from me.

Uphill.

And the COLD.

I hated the cold worse than anything.

So, these days, I let other people ski.

And I remain by the fire with a blanket and a good book.

The painting above is really what Taos means to me.

Lots of beautiful fields, mountains, clouds, and a little tiny house

being a home for some lucky family.

In the spring, summer, and fall.

NOT the winter.

I love you Taos, but I will let other people

take pictures of snow!

In other news, I am going for a physical today. Ugh.
More to report tomorrow....
