Miscellany

Saturday morning Farmer's Market visit first - brought home lovely plums, pears, kale, lettuce, grass- fed ground beef, all organically grown, of course.  We have really been eating delicious food the whole time we've been here - very little New Mexican but what we have eaten has been super delicious.  Today is hydrating day getting set for sweat lodge this evening.  I'm a bit apprehensive, but can't resist the happening.  I've promised myself to be careful and leave the lodge if necessary.  Understand there may be as many as 20 people participating. .....We visited a beautiful, luxurious spa near our house yesterday and took photos (on Susan's camera, so I can't send them) in the beautiful surroundings.  Lots of waterfalls and pools, statuary, hidden small patios, etc.  Even apple trees bearing so much fruit the ground was covered beneath one.......and they are all over town, loaded with fruit.....magpies are also everywhere - don't recall ever seeing one before - beautiful birds!  One tree nearby is a nesting area for vultures - so we are careful walking along the sidewalk there.  Ravens, of course, are here too.  Enough.  More tomorrow.
