On the corner of the lawn at City Hall, Saint Francis and his friend the prairie dog discuss the weather. It looks like someone has dressed up the prairie dog for the season, as often they do; but all covered with snow like that it's hard to see more than the ribbon scarf...
P.S. The place names book goes on for several paragraphs about Santa Fe, and says that there is no documentation for the idea that the full name of Santa Fe is La Villa Real de la Santa Fé de San Francisco de Asís. On the whole it seems that a place's name, like a family's, should be assumed to be what its people say it is...
