Time to pickle the beets!

Mom & Aunt Connie joined me yesterday to pickle beets. Messy but FUN! It was a beautiful fall morning! It had rained and the wind had blown all night the night before, so golden cottonwood leaves were everywhere! I sure enjoyed spending time with these sweet gals. Thank you Mom and Aunt Connie!

Standing on the top of the world...and such places!

We spent last week "doing our hood" with dear old friends from North Carolina - Tommy & Debbi Nixon. Here are a few favorite shots!


A stop along the way to the Rio Grande Gorge





Near Taos Ski Valley


Tommy & Debbi, intrepid sightseers!


New Mexico is chock full of fabulous old churches and missions! We saw a lot of them! Lovely!


There's always time for Our Lady of Guadalupe on any road trip!


Of all the balloons at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, this one was my favorite. And it flew right over Little Bird Farm!
