Mimi and I had the bright idea of heading to the west to have a Valentine’s Day picnic at Bonito Lake. Caught up in the moment we forgot that Bonito Lake is at a higher elevation than Roswell and therefore much colder. After arriving signs that banned picnics, cold snow, and blistery winds greeted us. Although we had packed a nice lunch and were hungry, we decided to bail.
We headed for the greener pastures of BLM land closer to Roswell. There we enjoyed a tasty picnic full of treats and goodies. We learned our lesson that even though it may seem hot in the desert sun, Valentine’s Day is still in February.
