A day in Taos

I live in the desert (high mesa about 7,000 ft above sea level) which is on the west side of the Rio Grande from Taos and I work out of a studio which is on my property (see Solar Ranch).

This means that I don't make the drive into Taos very often, infact it has been a few months and that is in part because I was by-passing Taos and heading directly up the mountain to go skiing.

Well now that skiing is over, I am back from a trip to Florida and was getting cabin fever, I decided to head in to town with my buckboard (an ole '89 S-10 pickup which I keep glued together for such trips). So I figured while I am in town I might as well resupply my reserve gas supply and pickup a yard or so of sand for some mud prodjects I have (The interior walls of both my house and the studio are adobe mud).

Anyway, while I was in town I decided to hang out and also to find a Wi-Fi connection so I could check out my buddy Bob's blog (for some reason HughesNet doesn't seem to want me to connect to his site). They were doing some road work so by the time I headed over to Caffe Tazza it was getting late and I had promised the dog that I'd take her to the river for a swim. Well, when I got to the Cafe their Internet was down. So much for that plan.

I did however have my camera with me so I made an album of "A day in Taos" and posted on FaceBook if you want to see it.

Today is Mother's Day so I am going to get out of here and Happy, happy Mother's Day to all.
