    by Beth Haley

    Good morning from Fallon, NV! With travel, sometimes you get the shot however you can. It was too cold to pull over or to roll the window down, but even through glass the sunrise showed it’s wonder across the sky!

    People think I’m kidding when I tell them that the state tree of Nevada is the telephone pole. But, in many areas and for as far as the eye can see, there’s not a tree in sight.

    Nevada has a rugged beauty all it’s own!

  • Snow Fall

    Snow Fall

    by Beth Haley

    Small icy flakes began falling Tuesday evening. Barely seen, they fell and came to rest with tiny whispers. I sheltered beneath the swinging bows and listened to the wind blowing its icy breath through the leaves. It’s a light show for now, but promises more Winter to come.

    I reflect on a friend’s words from not too long ago:

    “Maybe Santa will bring you snow this year!”

    It snowed through the night and stuck around. Thank you for some snow this season! ❄️
