Temperatures have been up in the 60s in the day and not freezing at night ... balmy spring weather. Some of us, however, are suspicious that a relapse into winter may still occur.
We haven't had a real active week. We've been watching the situation in Wisconsin and the unrest in the Middle East.
We did get to go through the Hearst Church in Piños Altos, where the Grant County Art Guild has its summer exhibit venue. We look forward to showing our works there.
It's called the Hearst Church because it received early financial support from Phoebe Hearst, wife of Sen. George Hearst and mother of Wm. Randolph Hearst. The elder Hearst had made some of his pile in the mines at Piños Altos.
And, on Valentine's Day, we enjoyed a delightful supper at BearMountain Lodge, a wonderful hideaway on the edge of Silver City, just dripping with art. (The food is good, too!)
We partook of the Wednesday night Chef's Surprise supper at the Curious Kumquat ... rapidly becoming one of our favorite eateries in Silver ... and then watched the trivia contest at Isaac's for a while. Can't believe how dumb I can be so fast!
And Thursday afternoon we caught the Four Shillings Short duo at the Silver City Public Library. They do a show they call "Around the world in 30 instruments," which brings a lot of little-seen or forgotten instruments out of the shadows, offers a little bit of history about them and shows how they sound in sprightly tunes from Ireland and elsewhere.
Tomorrow, if tonight's rain doesn't turn into snow, we're going to journey over the hills eastward to the Camino Real visitor center on I-25 and visit and support our friends from the Fort Bayard Historic Preservation Society, who will have an exhibit on Fort Bayard there this weekend. tv
