Winter Wonderland in the Desert Southwest

It snowed yesterday in Tucson Arizona. Magnificent, utterly wonderful.

Winter in Tucson

It SNOWED one day last week. I was running around with nothing but a sweatshirt on (well, I think I must have had jeans on too...), bringing my horses up to their covered stalls so they wouldn't get snowed on (not that they care....and once I brought them up to their covered stalls they stood in the open....) with FREEZING hands and then was running around with my camera SO excited that it was snowing, and then I was so proud because I texted the picture to lots of people!

Wow is that the longest sentence EVER?

I love winter here. :)

Happy New Year! It Snowed!

Yep, it snowed in southern Arizona! Temps below freezing, and SNOW! It was rain at my house, but we did see some flakes, and lots of frozen water troughs. We took a drive on New Years Eve, about 11 miles north, to the town of Oracle, where the elevation is about 4000'. SNOW~! Lots of it! A foot in some areas! LOVE IT!

Happy new year!!
