Surprise!

More snow today :)

Very Important

It is crucial that anyone reading watch these two videos:

1. The importance of our National Parks

2. The Story of Stuff

AND my axe is done!!

Look, snow!

Bi-emotional days lately for various reasons. For example, adventure coupled with calm, stormy weather coupled with sun rays or just warm, pink cheeks in the wind. And happiness, coupled with sadness.

Here is just one photo. Go to my larger posting of Wupatki photos for more.

As the days get slower...

It finally rained today. Actually, yesterday too. That's October 4th until November 30th without a scant smattering of precipitation. We've received almost 0.3"!

Times are getting slow, which actually means I can get a lot done. Like put a few pictures on my blog. But since I'm at work,* I won't ramble. Suffice it to say that our numbers had been about 120-200 per day, they jumped up above 400 for the two days after Thanksgiving, and now for the past week it has been less than 80 visitors per day. Yesterday we had 52. It's almost 11 am on a Saturday and we've had 2 people so far. Three if I count Denise, the mail lady, who came in to drop off a package.

In honor of the weather, I will post some more photos.

*For the record, this is the first time in almost 3 months that I've taken 10 minutes during work to Blog. My apologies if you think that is wrong of me, and that I am misusing your tax dollars. In reality, I regularly spend time working on work outside of work hours. Why do I feel the need to defend myself? In case anyone from work happens to read this.
