Another 24 hours, and there is still snow on the west face of the Sandias.
Loki and Glenda
Sad news! The Tangle Heart Tree took a tumble.
Snow on the mountains, dry as a bone in the valley, the Tangle Heart Tree that succumbed to the drought in 2011, has fallen over.
Late afternoon

Marble playing with Gwendolyn’s tail
The frumpy man in his running cap, Laurie thinks he looks like a freak. Jake after our morning run. He had a hard time keeping up at a 10-minute-per-mile pace.
Silver, Spunk, Gwendolyn, Glenda, Bunny and Sheep.

There was a fish cloud at 4:00 pm.
By 5:30 pm, there was not a cloud in sight.

Marble: “Why hasn’t that pathetic, lame-brained paparazzo put out any cheez for us?”
Silver: “¡Callate, Marble! Show some respect to the poor old paparazzo. He’s a little slow these days.”
Silver: “Hear me, oh Lord. I thank you for kicking our old paparazzo in the pants, reminding him to give us cheez.”
Loki: “You are such a drama queen, Silver! The old, half-wit paparazzo does not look impressed!”
Marina’s Incognito Tree is back to being hard to see.

Glenda is on the right half under Sasha on the left. Then Gwendolyn, Spunk and Silver. Spunk’s tail is on my toes. Loki is on Laurie. Marble might have been under the covers with Laurie, but I can’t say for sure.
24ºF outside + 54ºF inside + 5:00 in the morning = 5 Cats on me and a tail on my toes. Hmmm! Tail on Toes would make a great name for a post-rock band. Tones on Tail was a great post-punk band.

He’s gives himself kisses

A few clouds down south
Looking east at Susan’s and Teagan’s Trees behind the snow-covered black bamboo.
We got four inches of wet, heavy snow last night that broke a lot of trees, causing power outages. We were without electricity for over 15 hours, and we still don’t have internet service. I’m using my phone as a hotspot for this post.
The snow laid Rebecca’s Black Bamboo down so we could see the trees behind the bamboo. I was out early, cutting up trees that had fallen across the road so people could get out and in.
