Not really SAD, but

A lot of people are affected with Seasonal Affective Disorder in Wisconsin.  We have many, many days without sun during the winter months.  This year, we've had a string of days with heavy fog and unseasonably warm temperatures in the 30's and 40's.   Personally, I can't claim that I've ever really felt the effects of SAD, but this year, knowing that we are likely moving west later next year, I've been very impatient and annoyed with Wisconsin weather.   Sun trying to fight through the clouds It hasn't helped that my daily routine involves looking at the weather in Fort Collins and Tucson.  Their weather has been spectacularly sunny and more pleasant this time of year.   So, I haven't been blogging much because not much is going on. I've substituted indoor pickleball for hiking. The trails have been muddy and not much fun.

New Mexico: Santa Fe

 


From February 2022

Julia and I have been to Santa Fe before, but it was many years ago.

Normally, the drive from Pojoaque to Santa Fe is only about 20 minutes, but the roads were snow covered/slushy on the morning of our visit.  There didn't seem to be very much snow removal equipment working.  We took our time and eventually ended up parking close to the plaza.  Callie was with us, so there was no museum touring or anything of that nature  Santa Fe simply caught us unprepared  Quite a few places were closed. There was hardly anyone out on the streets.

 We managed to take a few pictures on the morning of February 3rd.




Santa Fe River

The river was interesting to me because this would be called a creek in Wisconsin.  Later in the week, we would learn that a river out here doesn't need any water flowing to be called a river. 

On the way back, we stopped to walk a paved trail running from the main drag in Pojoaque to the reservation school.  Conditions were wintry.

On the next day, we had reservations waiting for us at an airbnb outside Albuquerque.
