This winter's been snowy, with weekly snowstorms lately. Between last week's storm and this week's snowstorm, I drove to Las Cruces. This is the start of that day trip. I live half a mile off the highway on county roads. I walk the most hazardous part of the roads before I get in my truck to drive them. Good thing too, as one road was blocked by a fallen tree.
At another point I decide which road to take - the plowed one but in the shade, or the unplowed one. This shows you the reality of rural living in winter if you live on country roads. If you go rural and don't live on county roads, then it's up to you to keep your roads plowed.
I think this winter the snowplow man has done a great job. We've had a lot of snowstorms this winter, which is a blessing. Last winter was dry, with just a couple of good snowstorms. The result was a high fire danger, bone dry spring and summer until the July rains came, with two people dying in a wildfire in Ruidoso, and a number of homes lost there. If these snows keep up, I think our spring will be lovely. Hope so.

When a church lady asked me to explain to her how I use my washing machine water to water my back yard plants, I filmed it and posted it for her and others to see. That was fun so I did more.
Besides recycling water, making natural fertilizer, and reviews of things I think need reviewing, some of these videos are about gardening or dealing with drought, while others answer someone's question or concern (such as a Next Door neighbor scared of bees, so I filmed myself with bees to help her not be so afraid of them, and a church lady horrified by wasps, so ditto).
Still other videos are ones I want people to know about - El Paso's deadly air pollution, and the beauty of Cloudcroft New Mexico.
