This is a link to some weather data. http://www.lascruces-weather.com/wxtempsummary.php. The winter nights are cold because we are in the high desert (3900 to 4200 feet in altitude), but the days are delightful. We sometimes get a dusting of snow but it usually melts by the next day. When we lived in New Hampshire we kind of hibernated in the winter; here we kind of hibernate in July and love love love the rest of the year.clairzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076402619649343527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-43571073253486070142012-09-21T19:53:08.142-06:002012-09-21T19:53:08.142-06:00Well, first, you need to keep Bentley because he a...Well, first, you need to keep Bentley because he adds to the look of your home!

Penny/Joyful, it really is the perfect house for us and we are grateful for it every day. <br /><br />Sylvia, of course the house I am talking about is the one we moved into in 2009. I am still marveling at how it all came about. <br /><br />Mary, I think about your story about coming to NM from MA and smile every day. You've changed our lives by coming!<br /><br />And NMGran, I think you are new to commenting here. I am thrilled to hear that my blog might have had a part in bringing you to NM. It's a wonderful place, no?<br /><br />Shalom to you all!clairzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076402619649343527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-59100289274180479312012-09-21T09:12:18.006-06:002012-09-21T09:12:18.006-06:00Shalom!

I would certainly keep an eye out for cool adobes for you. Don't think that I am joking. We've helped three other friends from other parts of the country (and even Canada) to relocate down here, serving as property-checker-outers for faraway friends dreaming of life in the desert. They're all here now, and are glad they came. Tell me if you are serious.clairzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076402619649343527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-7664891864130091272012-09-20T20:05:03.392-06:002012-09-20T20:05:03.392-06:00PS.
