Wow, done with a full day of work by 6PM, that hasn’t happened in a very long time! I’ve been so over booked the last six to eight weeks! But I’m not complaining about the workload. I know I need to take it when I need to!

It was a quiet day. John came by in the morning to give me some salt and pepper shakers and then left me to my day’s hearing. By noon, I was halfway through my day, so I took an hour-long walk.

There was a raven flying around. Its wing flapping was very loud!

Just like home, impeccably groomed gravel roads form a T junction with no signage in sight!

I love the combination of the wood barn in the foreground and the adobe building in the background.

Very random place for a telephone wire.

This property has adobe at the corners and gates and then the fencing is deadwood. I saw similar construction on Isla.

I couldn’t figure out why yesterday and today I found myself a little short of breath at the top of short steep hills when I was power walking the Leandro Valle hill in Maz without breaking a sweat. It only hit me later that this is because I am at 7,000 feet!

I typed through the afternoon, glad that it was an easy file, and then it was time for wine! And dinner. I’m having Brussels sprouts for the first time in about eight months! I am also using a toaster for the first time in I am fairly sure is nearly two years!

My work came in for the next few days and I’m planning to do a few half days so I can go exploring in Santa Fe in the afternoons, beginning tomorrow!
