Crazy Weather

It is definitely a Good Friday in some places! It is predicted to be 80 degrees in "Hooterville," Michigan today and 54 degrees here in the Santa Fe area. What's up with that!!!????

Later in the Day:
They lied! It hasn't got above 42 degrees today - windy with snow flurries!

We had "cabin" fever so we drove on the Turquoise Trail, a National Scenic Byway, to the town of Madrid. It used to be a booming mining town - primarily coal but also turquoise - but it died when coal usage decreased and became a ghost town. It has recently been re-vitalized as an artist community - jewelry, pottery and textiles - but, it is out in the middle of nowhere - brings to mind the term "godforsaken" country.
