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!
