Aeolus...

...is visiting the Central Mountains of New Mexico with a vengeance. Gusts may reach 60mph from today through next Thursday. We got a little snow last night, but only enough to stick in shaded areas. Despite the cold temperatures and "breezy conditions" the sun is still as glorious as always. Helios, 1; Aeolus, 0.

And the boys decided today was the perfect day to play outside.

Snow pellets on piñones. That's what I'm watching outside my window right now. Small sky soldiers slipping along on the wind.

For us in Sandia Park, this isn't the first nieve of the year, but for Los Burqueños mañana may bring la primera capa blanca del otoño.

¡Feliz navidad a todo el mundo!

Sandia Park, New Mexico

I'm back on the blog, but from a new location, geographically speaking. Life in the East Mountains outside Albuquerque, New Mexico is laid back and quiet, for the most part. Expect a few more posts now that I'm taking the time to write again. The green side of the Sandia Mountains inspires a different kind of poetry. Perhaps I'll post some of it here.
