Snow Falls On the Desert

We were blessed with desert snow this morning. It wasn’t much, just enough to make the setting more dramatic, and the clay trails turn into the kind of mud New Englanders are not used to. It will snow again tonight and into tomorrow morning, and the temperature will plummet for the next four nights—or so we hope. We don’t mind cold, but Samwise, with his boat-size paws and me with my size 12 hiking boots, we’re walking in wet cement.
