Ooooh, the winds- I remember spending time in Baja, Mx where the winds would blow like that & a fine grit would cover everything. I just got to Santa Fe yesterday afternoon, and today the snow is already melting. I thought of you as I drove thru southern NM, but opted for the "shortcut" thru Hatch rather than driving thru LC.beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02070619577137197512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-21130689622859570102010-12-17T23:41:00.415-07:002010-12-17T23:41:00.415-07:00beautifulbeautifulJidhu Josehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06677595730307896302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-86443592717380455942010-12-17T14:19:45.157-07:002010-12-17T14:19:45.157-07:00I've found your blog while traveling through o...I've found your blog while traveling through on a Skywatch Friday tour. You are so blessed to live in NM. I've visited several times and I believe it could be my home away from home. I like being there in August for the lightening storms. I've been in the eastern and northern part of the state, but never to Las Cruces. It looks beautiful.

I can wake to beautiful blue skys, clear all the way to the coast range, only to have the rice farmers decide it is a good day to burn the fields. Not only does it spoil the view but it deprives wintering birds of a great source of food. Fortunately, the practice is in decline.Martha Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15797951661712327698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-11325935991430461352010-12-17T04:33:12.684-07:002010-12-17T04:33:12.684-07:00the dust certainly adds a layer of interest and my...the dust certainly adds a layer of interest and mystery to the photo..I love pecan anything Claire, YUM!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15349928247626849914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-13271567887429565212010-12-17T00:54:42.377-07:002010-12-17T00:54:42.377-07:00We regard them as an exotic luxury.

And toasted pecans in a salad of just spring mix and onion with a little sweet balsamic dressing (ok, toss in some dried cranberries if you want...). Alas, I've given them up almost totally in order to loose a little weight. If I ever learn moderation, I'm re-claiming them! <br /><br />I guess I just never thought about it...had no idea how they were harvested. Interesting post; nothin' like a little ed-du-ma-cation early in the morning! :0)Deb from WhatsInMyAttichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11126246734744950335noreply@blogger.com
