Lots of snow!

Throughout December, we had snowstorm after snowstorm -- at least one snowstorm a week, without any breaks for the snow to melt appreciably. By the end of December, we had received several feet of snow and were home-bound for several days since the interstate, local roads, and our driveway were all unpassable.

In true New Mexico fashion, we had more sunny days than dreary ones in December, so we were often able to  play in the snow under bright blue sunny skies.

Dale and Adelaida did some sledding, which Adelaida enjoyed ... sort of.


They went snowshoeing -- Adelaida in her pajamas and sunglasses, strapped to Dale's back.


Dale shoveled ...


... and shoveled ...


... and shoveled ...


... and shoveled some more, until eventually the pile of snow from our sidewalk was taller than Dale!


All that shoveling was hard work, so Dale relaxed by making a snow angel on the hill.


We had so much fun playing in the snow, and even today -- March 18th -- still have snow on the property against north-facing walls. And the forecast is for more snow in the next few days, so we may have more snow fun soon!
