"Spring" Break

I'm back from 4 seasons in 1 week:

At noon we were slathering on sunscreen in Moab, hiding under hats and behind sunglasses, and baking under the western sun. Hours later, sustained winds brought along a sandstorm, and then after you get used to being sandblasted you get a little fog and snow blend. Later in the week we drove over 5 hours SOUTH, and arrived to 18 degree temps and snow coming down. In fact the whole state had some snow action. Once the snow was through, we returned to the high winds of spring, with some nice sunshine to remind you that you are indeed in New Mexico again.

The snow in Ruidoso was enough to postpone the first morning ride, (icy and fast roads in the mountains, I'll wait to see if it will dry out a bit) so we found a spot for a hike. There were several stream crossings along the way, and no one fell in, but it is possible I had the camera ready to go in case anyone took a dive.  I'm spoiled to have such a great week off - Teresa and Ted visiting from back east, and I got an invite from George and Therese to head off to Ruidoso with a group. Now back to school and job search. Where are all those "green jobs" they keep talking about in the news???!!!!
