Yesterday we went out on our usual walking routine in the neighborhood and we got bonus! As we looked across the valley at Red Rock National Recreation Area as well as all across the face of the Spring Mountain range, a beautiful dusting of snow caught our eye. Usually, it snows up on Mount Charleston but not down at the elevation of the Spring range. What a special thing to take our minds off Covid, even if only for a few minutes.
But then another thing happened that gave us a moment’s break from Covid – but this one lasted a lot longer. When we woke up and looked out our picture windows, we saw our back yard, as well as all our neighbor’s, were covered with a solid layer of snow. It wasn’t a thick blanket by Minnesota standards, but it certainly was by desert standards. Bonus again!
I have to admit, my lovely bride, the Woman, is really a child at heart. As we walked the entire neighborhood taking in all the snow-covered bushes, palm trees and cactuses, the Woman just couldn’t help herself. On several occasions she stopped to build a snowman for a neighbor to enjoy. This one was particularly awesome!
Talking to you soon.
