Snow again, about two inches. Started up last evening and is still gently snowing now.
One happy aspect of frequent snows: no need to water the garden. And it seems to me that many of the piñon trees in my neighborhood that were looking so stressed for water earlier this year are now putting out more green needles. Even the trees near our house that we bermed and were watering in the spring and summer haven't really greened up until now. (Although, I suppose it could be the lovely contrast of the dark green above the snow that makes them look so healthy; but to me it really looks as if there are fewer yellow needles.) Anyway, regular snow is a real treat for the plants, and this year so far that’s what we’re getting.
Congratulations to all you Shelter Challenge voters: Mountainair won New Mexico!
