We woke up this morning to the bright New Mexico sun. At our high elevation, it's possible to stand outside in the middle of all this snow with your face upturned to the blue sky and feel very warm. The icicles are beginning to melt from the horses. They looked much happier to me as I went down to feed them their breakfast.

And the tenacious heeler puppies generate so much heat, that you can practically see the steam rising off of their winter coats. Today, the whole world will sparkle and shine.
