Month: October 2016

Last weekend we had a couple of hours to wander thru the Jemez mountains to take in the glory of the fall colors. It was fabulous. Mr. Snickers came along. He loves adventuring in the jeep. Our Molly does NOT! So, Mr. Snickers puts on his traveling scarf, jumps in for a ride while Molly … Continue reading An afternoon spent among the trees in the Jemez Mountains

Tucked in, snug up against protective mountains, sitting next to a warm fire, while snow  softly falls.

This painting … Continue reading “Love Among the Trees”
