Mother Nature

Everyday when I walk out of my office in Placitas I experience another beautiful scene. Brought to me by Mother Nature.
I love living here in Placitas, in the Land Of Enchantment.

Hey! Who's the new guy hanging around in the tree next to my outdoor shower? It's the first time I have seen a roadrunner in our meadow. EE Gads A Peeping Roadrunner!It's time to close down the shower for the coming winter anyway. I wonder where the roadrunner will go for the winter?

Welcome Guests!

Sometimes while at dinner time in Placitas we have some uninvited but always welcome guests. These wild horses came to join us the other night to munch on the weeds and grass at my daughter's home. It was fun to enjoy our meal while they enjoyed theirs!

Spring has finally Sprung!

Wow, Spring has finally REALLY sprung! The hills by my house are carpeted in yellow flowers. The purple and white flowers and the Indian paintbrush make a beautiful accent to the predominance of the yellows. I don’t know the names of all of the wildflowers, but I’m sure Lucy does. I’ll have to ask her. It’s so fragrant it’s hard to believe we’re in the desert. Of course, east of the S curves, it’s really the mountain foothills eco-system and not the high desert and that higher elevation is definitely more colorful. Another wonder is that Las Huertas Creek is running vigorously and that is VERY good. We got such a good snowpack this year. I hope the creek runs for awhile. It’s good for the wild ones. So even though the winds are howling, at least the sky is blue, our world is fragrant with the scent of fresh flowers, the creek is running and the wild horses are thriving. Life is Good in Placitas!

WILD HORSES IN PLACITAS!

What a wonderful surprise we had in store for us. As we were headed out to tour one of our new listings – lo and behold, we saw a herd of wild horses on a hill beside the road. A white stallion was on its own and the others were hovered together just down the hill. What a treat and a wonderful few minutes of peaceful enjoyment in beautiful Placitas!
