Southern New Mexico gets 6,000 sunny days a year.

After a storm you can help the driveway snow melt faster by darkening it with wood stove ash.

I have a steel barrel where I collect my ash.

Today's a great day to use half of that barrel.

Mountain life a day after a winter storm.

The driveway is gravel, long, steep, uphill from here.

Another crappy morning in Southern New Mexico at 9,500 feet.

The afternoon will be even crappier when I fire up the snow thrower.
