It was brief, but I ran out with my camera to collect evidence of it’s existence. Snow in the desert always makes me happy!
Poor neglected blog – I keep daydreaming of these beautiful, thoughtful, erudite posts and they’ve just accumulated in my brain like a logjam. Oh well, I need to brush those aborted posts aside and get on with it! My parents just got into town – we’ve been cleaning house preparing for their arrival – and having a lot of fun doing other things also! Lots of weekend adventures. Balloon Fiesta being a big one and the other being a trip to El Rancho de Las Golondrinas. Here’s my favorite image from Balloon Fiesta – it feels primal.
This artist’s work is amazing – and I’m not even a car person! I love that she has completely fixated on one object – and then torn it apart, reconfigured it, used parts from it, etched, carved, and arranged it in so many ways. Obsession at it’s best!! Go to her website to see more!
They closed the street that is the main drag of our neighborhood (it just happens to be old Route 66 – how cool is it to live a couple blocks off Route 66?) and had a Performing Arts Festival. We had lots of performing arts groups out tabling – some I knew and some I didn’t. And had a stage set up and a long list of performers. We got there early, grabbed some gelato and settled into our seats. It was a great evening – and then we went home to watch West Virgina beat Colorado – Gooooooooo Mountaineers!

My boy and his girl – dancing at our block party last weekend – a lovely evening full of friends, good food, firepits and candlelight, music, dancing, and s’mores. I wish I could have captured the sounds of that evening – the ebb and flow of the many conversations, the music, the fire crackling of the fire – lovely, lovely, lovely.
