Wind, Rain, Hail and Snow
On Wednesday evening the wind rose, the clouds rolled in and it began to rain fairly hard; a few minutes later small hail came down. Lovely! On Thursday morning when we watched the news we learned that it had snowed in some places north of us, Taos for one. The thermometer read 42 degrees F. that morning. Yuck!! Isn't this what we left Canada to get away from?? This morning it is a balmy 52 degrees F., windy and cloudy.
If you are thinking of changing your location here is a site that may interest you and/or give you some insight into some of the joys/problems in relocating. The people running this site interview expats from all over the world and get their views on the moves that they have made. Expat Interviews.com is an interesting read and I suggest you take a look at it: http://www.expatinterviews.com/
We had called the people that we housesat for here in Albuquerque last October and yesterday we went over and had a visit with them. It was nice to see them and their dogs; although the dog that was in assistance training has now been sent on and there is a new one in his place. The new puppy is very cute and lovable. The other dog seemed to remember us and enjoyed the dog biscuits that I had stuck into my pocket before we left home. It looks like we may be back here in Albuquerque next April for a couple of weeks as they have some plans for a 2 week get away at that time and would like us to return and sit for them. We enjoyed caring for their dogs and home last year and look forward to returning in spring.
Here on the homefront everything is clicking along as normal, I think, no catastrophes anyway. The beasties all seem happy and content and are of course running the place.
I was supposed to be the one having a siesta; but they took over.
One of the homes in our "housesit neighborhood" with a close up of the gate.
The homes in this area are not actually within the Albuquerque city limits, they are in the county of Bernalillo. If I have it correct, each home is on a 1 acre lot. Our home gets its water from a well and has a septic tank; but the county collects the garbage weekly. There are some lovely homes and also some that are different and don't quite fit in with the landscape.
