Love my life in the NM highlands. Dogs, cats, birds, bears, the occasional mountain lion. Books, music, escape the noise. Democrat for life💙

Gorgeous morning after the storms. Not done with us yet, but almost out of deluge. I hope all in the southern part of the state are faring well this morning

It puts on such a show, my pic from last night. I knew sleep would be hard to find, but that moon is a beauty

His Ohio district. Even conservative Ohio has to practice a crazy quilt gerrymander to keep Creep Jordon in office

I’ve got Cooper to remind me to be gentle with myself and all around me. She’s so timid, a raised voice sends her into hiding.

It was a night here, too. Poor dogs climbing in laps, then hiding in the bathroom (because they know thunder can’t find them there). Our cat Wilhelmina slept thru it. She’s elderly and going deaf.

Sounds like a lovely way to spend the day. Our spring and summer wildflowers are just poking their heads up now, so there should be lots of goid for the Monarchs. I’d love to see them.
Fields of Gold. Thank you Sting🎶

Almost full and briefly showing its face in the clouds. Still warm or it would look like an October sky

Happy Taco Tuesday MJ and all. Moon is about 2/3rds full, maybe disrupting sleep as well? Makes fora beautiful night sky, tho’.
This guy thru a fuzzy window.  He was out front hunting lizards, successfully. I probably shouldn’t have named them Herman and Herman Jr.  Oh well, circle of life

She’s still beautiful at 88, days she doesn’t feel old. Good for her. Living her whole life in the spotlight, as daughter, wife, actor, activist, humanist, remarkably few stumbles

That sounds perfect. Unfortunately for me I have a mountain goat that climbs on everything

I love that spell. I’ve even chosen a rock to carry. I found this on a dog walk

As long as it’s not storming, it’s a safe drive, huge rock retaining walls have been built on the west side to stop boulders from crashing down. Every New Mexican should see the birth place of The Rio Grande

Cherokee Purple is also very good from the garden. My best year, end of season harvest

They’re creepy and are supposed to have an excruciating sting. I always feel sorry for the tarantulas in late autumn.

I used to have a cat faced spider on the roof of my front porch every spring to fall. Each spring I’d name the new one in honor of Charlotte-Carlotta, Charleen, Caroline. I’m a terrible arachnophobe and hoped this would help-maybe be it did, a little, still prefer the creepy crawlies outside.

Good Monday morning MJ and all. I was looking at this solar dragon light yesterday and have been thinking about ordering it because I call Riley my little dragon and it looks a bit like him, don’t you think?

This is Puff who showed up as a very shy kitten, had to be coaxed in with a feather. Maybe an orange cat thing?

These are the horses living along the road into our subdivision(there are 3 more adult females)The foal was born a couple of weeks ago, follows mom everywhere-soooo cute.

He really is, considers everything we tell him and is a great listener, never gets too far away from us on our forest walks- unlike the notorious Lola

Higgins is adorable 🥰 This is Riley. My partner turned on his flashers on the inside lane of an I-40 overpass and coaxed him off the edge where he was trying to avoid being flattened by traffic. About 5 months old at the time, now 2 1/2, smart as a whip.

We call Riley our little dragon because he kind of looks like one, had a great glower and roars unlike any dog I’ve ever known😅

Love that meme, of course. If I have a temple and any spiritual connection in this world, it’s in the woods

Not a good picture, but there’s a fawn by the tree. Hope Bambi found his family

My favorite flower. Tons of them along the roadways up here when we get rain, and lots around the house. From a wetter year:

Good Friday MJ and all. Searingly blue sky here with a high of 86 predicted (yes I’m whining). Not a trace of wind, when a cool breeze would be lovely, but at least no dust

Good Tuesday morning Katy and all. Great memes 😂. I’m sitting in my polling place at 7:30 and no one has shown up to vote yet. I guess primaries just aren’t that exciting here. It’s going to be a long day. I love McKinley County’s I VOTED sticker Open roads and good drugs for all recoveries.

I lost this guy last November, yet he still walks with me and talks to me. We’ve rescued two more since he passed, but he was my heart

Good morning on a fine Saturday MJ and all. I’m watching Chip and Dale running around out front (they’re all Chip and Dale, lots of squirrels) eating up the bird seed. Wilhelmina is watching them from an outdoor perch trying to decide if it’s worth the chase. Mostly she just watches these days

Sardines, pumpkin puree, plain yogurt, bone broth, mushroom powder and other miscellaneous (meaning I don’t remember) substances. Seems to have worked a miracle. Every day is a gift

Thank you for your kind words. Z has been a gift. I hope for more years, but cherish the time we’ve had. She’s a great girl
