Greetings of the Season!

Greetings of the Season! Paper whites blooming on our dining room table, holiday lights magically transform our cactus into a holiday tree. Tis the season for the spirit of Giving, reminding all of us of family and friends, good times, good memories.... Wishing all Peace and Prosperity for the New Year!

Nandina and Pyricantha

Right when you think there is no more fall color and we're headed for winter, the beautiful Nandina and Pyricantha are really showing off their bright orange and red berries. I don't know if the birds eat them or not, but I'm sure it is very tempting for them with all that saturated color. So tempting if fact I think I'll bring some in for my table decoration.

Take Time to Relax

I hope everyone is taking some time out of their busy schedules to relax and perhaps read a good book. I spent last Thursday when it snowed doing just that. I took the day off and sat by a cozy fire and read for a couple of hours. It really helped my energy level the next day.

Another Beautiful Scene in Placitas

On Thursday morning, December 3, we Placitans awakened to a beautiful frosting of snow on most of our familiar views – some areas with more than a “frosting”. For those of us who live a little farther west and south off Highway 165, it was just enough snow to make it beautiful, but not dangerous to drive. The mountains were still under a blanket of clouds, and the rabbits and birds were leaving little footprints all around the feeders as I left for work. Then, while admiring the views from here at our beautiful La Puerta building, I spotted this beautiful,, feather-y grass in the back of the building. “She” was still dressed in “her” pretty pinkish hewed frock, and still mostly standing with “her” usual proud posture, but was now also dressed in a soft coat of fresh, white snow. The contrasts were so gorgeous that I could not resist photographing it to share with others. Living in Placitas is truly beautiful for me, and I’m thankful that I can live here!
