It wasn't even a month ago, we spent the weekend in Taos. Mostly for work, but always for fun. Whenever we have to go to Taos, we always take Atalaya to Kit Carson Park. There's a great playground (I didn't really capture it's "greatness" in these photos), trees, grass and a fantastic view of the mountains.
::: Atty digs the swing.
:::The girl is in love with giraffes, so when we happened upon this sculpture in someone's front yard, we were pretty excited.
::: Walking with a red balloon.
::: Atalaya holds the sun.
::: Wrapped in mama's scarf.
::: At the Railyard playground in Santa Fe. All the girl wanted to do was open and close the gate. It was all fun and games until a sweet little boy actually wanted to enter the playground through the gates....gates swung open...then close....right on Atalaya's face. It was her first bloody lip!
::: Pre-bloody lip...
::: The casita on Thanksgiving. The light was perfect and I really wanted to get a few photos of our space to always remember it by.
::: Local squash gifted to us by our neighbors. They were promptly roasted and devoured!
::: Our 'crazy horse.'
::: Atalaya exploring the fall garden at Eldorado Market.
::: And today. We awoke to THREE FEET of snow! I don't think I've ever experienced a snow fall like that....at least not one that happens in less than 24 hours! I was totally amazing. Beautiful. Enchanting. Loads of fun to play in! Keenan was out first thing this morning, opening the barn and getting some paths carved out for walking and sledding. The landscape around our casita is rugged. Dotted with choya cactus, juniper trees and rocks. There was so much snow that you could walk and sled everywhere...cactus be damned!
::: This is our road. Please take note that the snow comes over Keenan's calves...ON THE ROAD! No county maintenance in these parts....we may be here for a few days!
::: Finally, Attles in the barn...making sure everyone is happy, fed and warm.
We're really looking forward to spending the holidays with family in Pittsburgh. I can hardly believe it's already that time of year again. Coming into a new year is always exciting to me. I believe that anything can happen...every slate wiped clean...every intention put into action.
RENEWAL.
Awareness that every moment is perfectly aligned.
Every challenge offers growth as the silver lining.
We're all intricately and infinitely connected.
I like that.
