We are getting our daily afternoon monsoon here in the mountains of New Mexico, so I will sit down for a few minutes and blog. Yesterday we made the move here from Colorado. We left in late-afternoon, and we got to enjoy the Colorado sunset all the way down I-25 to the New Mexico state line. As the sun lowered in the sky, afternoon showers tried unsuccessfully to block out the sun. So we enjoyed golden yellow, then Denver Broncos orange, then Colorado Rockies purple, all behind a curtain of late afternoon showers.
Colleen, Kim, Jon and Sara went first, in their rental car with their new Burnese Mountain Dog puppy, which is about as cute as a puppy can get. I followed their car, and was sandwiched in between them and Thomas and Greg pulling a trailer behind the Ford pickup. After we got into New Mexico Jon joined me and drove my car. He needs the hours of parentally supervised driving to get his New Mexico license this fall. He has been working at Walmart in Colorado this summer to try to earn enough money to buy a used jeep or pickup truck.
The ranch is located in the mountains east of Santa Fe. Six or seven miles of the road are dirt, which, of course turns to mud on an afternoon like this; hence Jon's need for an all wheel drive vehicle. I'll be including more photos with my blog, much as I did when I started this blog over a decade ago.
