There are not many restaurants in town and even less out here in the mountains. But there’s a little log cabin that sells fresh, hand made pizza on the weekends. And pie. Cream type pies. My parents don’t care much for pizza, but they always request we bring them pie…the weather has been cold. We got about an inch of snow, and a lot more cold than that!

I planted a few wild flowers that require cold hours. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for spring! In Texas I already had tomato plants at least 4 inches tall (inside) this time of year. I can’t even get them to germinate without a heater this early in NM. Last year I planted too early and had to keep replanting because of the cold. This year I’m trying to get sage started in a pot indoors. I keep running out of sage leaves for cooking during the year and apparently there was a shortage this past year because I couldn’t buy it in bulk at Natural Grocery store like I normally do.

I will be sending out a newsletter at the end of Jan. I sort of promised I’d try to do a short story for said newsletter. Erm. I guess I better get busy on it! How about space opera? I’ve never written space opera…
