Is there anything better than waking, first thing in the morning, and seeing a fresh blanket of snow on the ground? The tiny flakes form a coat around bare trees, and the ice fairies have been painting on the windows. A fresh cup of hot coffee and silence are the perfect compliment to such a morning.
Unfortunately, I also have to go out into that snow. I would love nothing more than to sit inside all day and admire the beauty and gifts of mother nature, but the kids have to go to school. So, I grudgingly tug on my boots and trudge through inches of snow to start the car and warm it up.
Such is the price to live in beauty. When I was growing up, I couldn't wait to get out of here. In all honesty, however, Taos is the best place to be if you are even remotely creative. An artist colony by tradition, we are very supportive of creative minds from all genres of media. It's refreshing really, and I couldn't be in a better place. The energy here just nourishes creativity, and I thank the spirits that I am so lucky.
Enjoy this lovely weather and all the gifts of nature. Soon, there will be another Bubbles adve
