Tuesday January 27th 2009 in San Pedro Creek

This is a blog about Gucci's family. We have just moved into a lovely house in San Pedro Creek in New Mexico. We will try to upload at least some images every week, and maybee even write a little now and then about our life here in the High Desert.

Gucci doesn't like cold weather. He was born in Arizona and Italian Greyhounds doesn't have much fur either, and these two facts combined makes up for an individual who rather stays indoors as long as it is winter and cold.




This is a view of how it looks like out here in San pedro Creek. The Mountains are part of the Sandias. Sandia actually means water melon in Spanish and if you are at the other side of the mountains, in Albuquerque, the mountains have the colors of the water melon every night at sun set.


This winter has been very dry. No snow today January 27th, but it is cold. It has been down as low as to 11F (- 12C) in the early mornings acouple of days. The sun warms up the days though and in the afternoons it is a more comfortable 55 (+13C) or so. This is quite typical for inland high desert climate. Big differences between night and day temperatures.




Our lot is big. 10 acres (40648 m2) most of it is white and yellow grasses, cactae of all kinds and Piñon and Junipers as the green colors on the palette. It's very minimalistic in colors but oh so beautiful. Photos never does reality justice. The walks with Gucci are such a pleasure fo the eye in a very kind way. Below is Prickle pear cactus. Even the cactae are dry and thirsty for water this year.
