April Snow Showers Bring May Flowers?

Well, I'm sure they will... but not just yet. We had some blustery-trying-to snow-in-town type weather yesterday (yes, along with those winds!) It looked like the mountains got a little dusting, so I figured I'd head on up this morning to see what I could see.
Here's the road to the ski basin~


It was a chilly 26 degrees on the mountain when I started out on my little walk, but the exquisite beauty of nature always warms my heart.

Most of these photos were taken walking along a small creek that was in various stages of freezing & thawing.

I had to include the one below, because it made me chuckle to see the bbq grill, something associated with summer, surrounded by a fresh dusting of snow.


12 or so miles down the hill from here, our trees are beginning to "green up" for spring, but at higher elevations, it still looks a lot like winter.

An appropriate quote for our Spring weather here in Santa Fe~

"In the spring I have counted one hundred and thirty-six different kinds of weather inside of four and twenty hours."
