John and I had hoped to go skiing yesterday, but the weather had other plans. We got up early and drove to Ski Apache (where we skiied on Christmas). It was a beautiful sunny day and by the time we got there just before 10AM it was already in the 40's. The snow was more like shaved ice and melting. We decided to forego our ski trip and instead drove down to White Sands National Monument.
We've been to White Sands before, but it's a remarkable place. The sand is gypsum which has been crushed into a fine sand from the wind.
We did a short hike before the wind kicked up.
We headed back home and plan to stay inside today. It's cold and damp - only in the upper 20's right now. We're expecting snow, sleet and freezing rain today. We've had sleet a couple of times already. Good day to read a book and cuddle up with the kitties by the fireplace.
Miss you guys,
Love,
VAL & JOHN and the kitties!!!!!
