Desert Snow

"There is something about this country that is deeper than just being here. There is a spiritual quality about it too, that is as deep as life itself" Pearl Baker

Some of you may not know that we get snow. Lately, A LOT of it. This photo is from the first storm. We have had a couple more storms since. I am so glad we get a white Christmas. The white snow on the red rocks with the green trees and blue sky is so beautiful. We are so fortunate to live here. In more ways than one.

Twelve year old Tess

Happy Birthday Tess! Every birthday I tell the kids the story about the day they were born. This year I got all choked up. Where does the time go? TWELVE. Wow! We are so blessed to have Tess in our lives. I would post her favorites, but I am certain Tess would want to be a part of that post, so I will wait till we are together.
