In the High Country Now

Path to a good education

We had an unpleasant surprise when we reached our property in High Rolls early this afternoon; as you can see, a dead tree was blown down, and it fell right onto our fence, breaking the top of one picket.  We're going to have to get a tree man out to remove it, along with several other dead pinyons.  It's 55 degrees Fahrenheit right now with a stiff breeze.  Feels pretty darned cold outside.  It's supposed to hit 40 F tonight.  That's what several thousand feet of elevation gain will do for you.
