Even though these photos were taken in 2014, I remember that day like it was yesterday. The Northwest of the US, in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful places in the US. On this day, my dream came true when I saw Mt. Rainier with my own eyes. I cried. Driving around Seattle area…
Tulips
“When spring came, even the false spring, there were no problems except where to be happiest. The only thing that could spoil a day was people and if you could keep from making engagements, each day had no limits. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good…
Cherry Blossoms
“The significance of the cherry blossom tree in Japanese culture goes back hundreds of years. In their country, the cherry blossom represents the fragility and the beauty of life. It’s a reminder that life is almost overwhelmingly beautiful but that it is also tragically short.” ~ Homaro Cantu
Gardening ’17, Part 2
My first year trying to grow veggies was 2014. I did what most probably do and gleefully purchased a variety of seeds. I learned through talking with friends that I only wanted to grow veggies that we would eat. That seems like a given but it truly isn’t. We had neighbors who grew a lot…
Food Independence
Along with gardening, I wanted to add eggs to our family food independence. Growing our own vegetables, we control what chemicals do NOT go on our food and the kiddos learn not only how to grow their own food but where their food comes from. Having chickens is the same process. We control what the…
Bailey n Addy
Bailey’s sister Addy (our eldest daughter’s puppy) came over for a playdate. They are great pyrenees/huskey mix, born Feb 3, 2017. I managed to grab a few good ones and a few silly ones. Enjoy!!
Gardening ’17
I’ve always loved flowers and being around plants. A few years ago, I decided that I wanted to try growing my own veggies. I bought seeds and grew tomatoes, squash, lettuces, carrots, potatoes, and more. There were many things I had to learn along the way but my “green thumb” and love for plants made…
Rio Grande Gorge Bridge
“There is nothing so American as our national parks. The scenery and the wildlife are native. The fundamental idea behind the parks is native. It is, in brief, that the country belongs to the people, that it is in process of making for the enrichment of the lives of all of us. The parks stand…
Morning after
One of my favorite things about living in Northern New Mexico is spring snow. Not spring as in jumping or spring as in water, but as the season. Last night and early morning we received 10 inches of snow in Taos Ski Valley, according to TSV snow report. In town, it’s always less in amount but not…
Your road
“Not I, nor anyone else can travel that road for you. You must travel it by yourself. It is not far. It is within reach. Perhaps you have been on it since you were born, and did not know. Perhaps it is everywhere – on water and land.” ― Walt Whitman
