Daily Snap: Closing Day

Day 23: 4.5.2009

Taos Ski Valley

C calls me up that week and confesses he bought a new pair of skis. So of course we had to try them out. What better place than closing day at Taos, a glorious powder day? Why we didn't hike Kachina Peak, I still don't know. He now loves those twin-tip, powder-floatin' fatties, by the way.

Daily Snap: Indian Trails

Day 22: 4.4.2009

Saddle between Water and Potrillo Canyons

I love the multitude of trails in the canyons near our house. There are trails every which way, both old and cut in to the tuff, like this one, or shallow emerging ones following arroyos. This one's like a bobsled course, but I've never tried that in the winter.

Daily Snap: Homestead

Day 21: 4.3.2009Montoya Ranch, Sangre foothills outside Cundiyo

My coworker's dad has a beautiful ranch outside Cundiyo that we visited to pick up some corrugated metal roofing material (to use in C's garden). This beauty was the original homestead on site that her dad rebuilt. So peaceful!

The WWW*: EmilyStyle

I've been reading a wonderful blog, EmilyStyle, and thought her What to Wear posts were particularly fantastic. Readers submit outfit dilemmas then Emily pairs some sort of Adobe Photoshop magic with her savvy style sense to come up with cute, chic solutions. I decided to write in regarding the first day of grad school and this is what she came up with:

You can read my wordy letter and her full post here. Blogs are the wave of the future, man. Thanks, Emily!

*World Wide Web. I don't care for the term "blogosphere," yet I've now got a blog. Hmm.

Daily Snap: Where's Birdo?

Day 19: 4.1.2009 Backyard
See that little birdie way up in the tree? Java the Dog saw that birdie, and wouldn't stop barking. Man-o-man.

Daily Snap: Breakfast

Day 18: 3.31.2009

Kitchen Table

Oh, if only this photo looked this good. Breakfast might've tasted that good with fresh lime juice on the fruit salad and raspberry ginger jam. But it doesn't look nearly as good. Maybe I need a fancy camera and cute dishes. Right.

Daily Snap: Apple Carrot Cupcakes

Day 17: 3.30.2009

Family Kitchen

C and I dug up an armful of garden carrots (from last fall!) and thus needed to use them up. So I baked Elise's apple carrot cupcakes and put cream cheese frosting on top. I'm surprised these few made it to the second day- yum.

Daily Snap: Art Museum

Day 15: 3.28.2009

New Mexico Art Museum, On the Plaza, Santa Fe, NM

Today's picture was a major toss-up between the pretty museum or the sweet, sweet R2D2 postal drop box on the street corner ten feet away. C and I had fun exploring the plaza and eating caramel apples from Senor Murphy's. My favorite.

Day 13: 3.26.2009Pajarito Plateau, NM

View towards the Jemez Mountains from work. This storm caught everyone offguard.

Day 12: 3.25.2009

My second time at the world-touring Banff Film Festival. Wonderful films!

Daily Snap: Old Truck

Day 11: 3.24.2009Neighbor's yard, White Rock, NM

I just love that old truck every time Java and I walk by.
