We've been home for almost a month and have been doing the usual stuff: visiting our favorite restaurants, visiting doctors, talking about our next trip. My wife tripped and broke 3 ribs back in December. She is still having cramps when she makes certain movements so she is going to start physical therapy to see if that helps. I've been having fun with the dermotologist cutting things off my body. It's all part of that aging thing.
On a more fun note, we got snow on the mountains!
It is actually quite unusual for the snow to come down that far. The elevation in the valley here is at about 2,600 feet and that snow is pretty close to that. It's funny but the snow can excentuate the cliffs in the mountains and make them look taller. Then a few days later we had this happen.
Snow in our back yard! Of course it didn't stick but it was fun to see. That hummingbird trying to have a meal probably wasn't as thrilled but at least he was getting some food. We did manage a trip into Las Vegas to pick up a few things. There was snow on the sides of the road and a few flurys but that was it.
When I went to see my doctor I happened to see this in the park across the road from his office. These geese decided to pause for a bite to eat.
That same afternoon this was the sunset.
Then the other day my wife and I were wandering around town and found these wild horses having a bite.
There was even a foal with them but it was napping just past that little rise so you can't see it. That area is part of an abandoned golf course but I guess it is good horse food. You can see that the snow has melted from the lower parts of the mountain. It's back to dirt for us soon enough!
Well, that's about all the news from this part of the world. Take care and keep washing those hands!
