Roswell, NM

This morning it was 26 degrees when we got up.  The trailer next door had frozen water, we did not.

Most of the day was spent at the history and art museum.  Great collection of local old west goods, art, and NM Military Institute history.  hardly anything on the Lincoln County War, but this is Chaves County, Lincoln County is just east of here.  There is a large section on Dr. Robert Goddard who did most of his work here in the 20s and 30s developing the first liquid fueled rockets.

Off to Texas tomorrow.

Forgot to mention that yesterday in Columbus NM we met a woman in the museum who grew up in Shelburne VT.  She's a seasonal volunteer there.

It had warmed up one degree when I took this.  Notice that indoors wasn't balmy either.

 Imagine my surprise when I found this.  I am quite familiar with Andrew Wyeth from his work on the coast of Maine and also his father's work.  Henriette is his sister, she married a Roswell man who had been a student of NC Wyeth.  I was not familiar with Henriette or Peter Hurd, both of whom are well known out here.
