Home on the Mountain

After a two day drive we arrived at Cloudcroft New Mexico where we will spend most of this summer. The oppressive heat last year in Houston convinced me that Houston is not the place to be in July and August.

We are 6 miles out of the village and almost 9K feet high on the side of a mountain in the Sacramento Range. The cabin has three levels and while it is small in many ways, it is comfortable for two people and a dog.

Our first morning here yesterday we saw 8 deer in the front driveway. We are still working on our daily routines since everything is new.......

I did take a few shots yesterday

Here's the back patio view..





Here's a vid from last night....



It's so chilly we need socks..

Yes, Norma, the short hair works with the helmet I wear on the bike - I cannot have a good hair-do in these parts! We are enjoying the cool, mountain air and environment - very peaceful. Bev
