The water in my mare’s bucket was frozen this morning. The
raucous storm that flooded the Midwest brought some light snow to our
mountains; last night the temperature dropped to ten degrees. Typical of spring
in New Mexico, this is what John Nichols calls “the annual death of the little
blossoms.”
In El Prado I noticed an old dead tree blown down across
from the post office, and another with the grass around it burned. I wonder if
wind and lightning did that.
Luckily, in our deep valley the apple trees have better
sense than to open their buds, so there’s still a chance we might get some
fruit this year. (She said cautiously.)
AND,
oh yes, we do need the precipitation!

Lovely piece and wonderful photos. I think I hear the earth slurping, "more more," she says.
