"I think that New Mexico was the greatest experience from the outside world that I ever had.
It certainly changed me forever ... The moment I saw the brilliant proud morning (sun) shine high up over the deserts of Santa Fe,
something stood still in my soul."

Scenes from the Pecos Mountains
The Sangre de Cristo Mountains north of Pecos have some pretty spectacular scenery. Here are some pictures we took on Friday when we were up in the mountains to get our Christmas tree:
It is one thing to run all over a Christmas tree yard looking for just the right tree, but it is another thing when you have to climb all over the side of the mountain. One rule to remember is that the tree may look small out in the woods, but it is often huge in your house.
Lou - that was EXACTLY what I told my husband when we were looking at one ponderose pine that didn't look too bad -- but it was so wide it would have filled up and completely overwhelmed the spot in our living room where we have room for a tree.
The blue spruce we finally decided to cut is tall and skinny -- and I still bet it will look big in the living room.
