Our First Big Snow at Little Bird Farm


Within days of my return home from Hawaii and northern California to New Mexico, Little Bird Farm was fully festooned in winter snow!  I am exhilarated at this!  If there is any single thing that can put me in the mood for Christmas, it is falling snow.  This winter storm did not disappoint!  Snow fell all day long yesterday, a phenomenon I have never seen in my years living in New Mexico.  I saw this happen many times on winter days in northern Japan, but never in New Mexico!  It really was a lovely thing.  I had the pleasure of my brother's company in the afternoon and into the evening, as he installed a new door for us - a chore less well suited for such a cold, snowy day as it would have been for a sunny day!  Yet, he worked diligently and exactingly for many hours.  It was a difficult job, placing the new door in a wall of this old farm house.  And he had to go out and work in the cold many, many times, making the carefully measured cuts, planing and sanding!  He is a perfectionist!  I truly admire this quality, but I do not possess it.  He did a beautiful job and our new door looks beautiful and performs.....perfectly!   Thank you, Honorable Brother!

Oh, great! It really is so pretty, and this evening as the sun set, the mountains were pink! You recall how that looks - amazing! So glad you will be seeing it with us soon!
