The Perfect Placitas Lullaby!


Water front property along the California coast is very expensive and everyone would love to be on the ocean or at least see it from your living room window, but in Placitas water front property is rare and has a completely different feel and magic to it. When my creek, Las Huertas, started running Saturday morning it was a cause for celebration! I can call it my creek because part of it runs through my property and is a constant joy to hear, especially at night. The perfect Placitas lullaby.

Bobcats in Placitas



As a Realtor selling property to people in Placitas, especially who are moving here from out of state, it is always fun to have them be so excited when they have a "visitor" to their yard. This bob cat appeared in the yard of some people who moved here in November and I love it when they call me to report that the coyotes were by, the wild horses were on the road or "Bob" paid them a visit. It is especially wonderful when they are able to get a picture too and send it with such joy.

Spring in Placitas!


Spring in Placitas is a series of stops and go's, warm weather and then a small snow storm, then more warm weather. maybe a freeze or two, I am sure you see what I mean. As a gardener, you learn what will enjoy the erratic weather and still thrive. The picture is one of my pansies that is still smiling even with it's coat of snow. Lettuce, peas, onions and garlic also don't seem to mind the occasional snow storm either.
