White and Blue

Hello, These pictures are from last week:

I enjoyed seeing white fluffy things such as clouds, snowy mountaintops and mockingbird against the blue sky. This morning it is dark, cold and raining outside...perfect weather for baking cookies!

White

Hello and Happy Monday!  It's not always warm and sunny here, and this December feels especially chilly compared to past ones, but it sure is fun to go out early bundled up with jacket and gloves and see the desert decorated with white before the frost melts.
