Making Do With What You Have

The icon picture shows that we do get snow here in Fernley, and indeed one year we got a snowfall around Christmas that led to my favorite photo of the house. But we're still a desert, and when it comes time to decorate for the holiday, you can't expect snow, so you make do with what you have, as our neighbors did this week.

Desert Christmas

I'm glad I spotted this and walked over to take a photo yesterday, because an RV has parked right in front of it today, which would have blocked the view.
