Hello Loves -

We got snow!  In the desert!

Well, the high desert, and it does occasionally snow here.  Generally, it's the kind that provides a light dusting but never accumulates on the roads.  This time, however, we got quite a bit.  It will be lovely for the farm, as moisture can always be a bit of an issue for us.

The farm is small, and we (by 'we' I mean husband, I just help out) grow veg that does well with limited moisture.  That includes chiles, pomegranates, tomatoes, corn, lettuces, and many others.  Really, if you plant things correctly and use remediation such as coir, mulch, and planting them early enough and at the correct depth so they develop a strong root system, you can grow many things in the desert whilst conserving water to a surprising degree.

Anyway, it is a lovely day to write, with a cup of tea at the ready and a cat on my lap.  I've done quite a bit of work on 'Crutch' but now need to go do some editing on something else.  Then, dinner which will be a lovely corn chowder.

Love and Kisses,

Taryn
