We wandered down the road from Alaska and decided we liked the look of New Mexico.We rented a house in the hills of Placitas, about 12 miles from Albuquerque.
Lots of birds, wild horses, coyotes, lizards, snakes, hummingbirds, and packrats (we killed 5 the first week, and haven't seen anymore since).
Best of all there are not a lot of folks where we live. Albuquerque is very crowded, so we try not to head down the mountain if we can help it.
Driveway up to the house.
One of two long steps up. I would hate to carry a refrigerator up these steps!
Front door, facing east in the Navajo traditional way.
New Mexico lanai.

Cabezon means “big head” in Spanish. This stems from a Navajo myth which holds that it is the head of the giant Ye’i-tsoh after being slain by the twins Nayenezgani and To’badzistsini.
Speaking of snakes, when I opened the shed the other day, a garter snake welcomed me!
Wildflowers are in bloom here now. This is a popweed.
Paintbrush.
Wild horses off of the lanai.
Howdy pardner!
Peace my friends!
