Ghost Ranch

You haven't heard from us for a while! Busy, busy, busy!

We had a hectic round of meetings and chores in the last week, then left Wednesday morning for Ghost Ranch in northern New Mexico. On the way, we stopped to see the juried art show at the Durango Art Center, where we both had pictures accepted (no prizes, though).

We also routed through the Jicarilla Apache reservation, eating lunch in Dulce and stopping in Lumberton to look at the St. Francis Catholic Church complex there. The doors were interesting sculpted wood. It must be 10 years since I was last through that way and this was Sandy's first trip through, so we enjoyed the greenery and the livestock.

We were fortunate to arrive at Ghost Ranch at the end of several days of rain, so today it has been the Ghost Ranch we know and love, with fluffy clouds floating in blue skies above redrock cliffs and green grass. Beautiful and peaceful. tv
