You know what’s great about climate change? Winter hiking is so pleasant!

That’s the question I asked myself the other night.

One of my favorite annual events in Taos is the Lighting of Ledoux, which kicks off the winter holiday season.

I’ve hiked to Williams Lake a jillion times, and had never seen what I saw yesterday.

Today I’m grateful for jigsaw puzzles.

I realize I’m supposed to be posting about the latest Scamps, but the other night it rained in Taos, and I decided to buck the boss – who is, um, me – and share some images from that.

I just got some great news, and I’m celebrating with a burrito. Because sometimes you just have to splurge.

Sure, tons of snow and single-digit temperatures might make going about your day difficult, but you know what isn’t difficult, oddly enough?

Fun fact: I was on the road every single month last year except May, and that’s only because I had to stay home and have some medical procedures done.

Impromptu Scamp Alert! I’m heading to Los Angeles and San Diego and who knows where else, starting with a visit with friends and the opening reception for a show in L.A. this week.

I know I said I’d be posting more of the Grand Canyon photos soon – and I will, I promise! But there are so many! And I’ve been other places since then that I want to share with you!

I thought I’d give you a break from National Parks (but who ever needs one? Not me!) and share a few photos from the recent snowpocalypse in Taos.

The magazine came out, so now I can say which contest I placed in (the one I mentioned last week).

New products! I’m now selling greeting cards six to a box, with a mix of color and black & white, for $19.95 plus shipping. Email me to place your order.

My grandma, my mother’s mother and my last living grandparent, died yesterday. She was 93 and passed on peacefully in bed after a good, long life. (This, after my friend’s death last week. Sad.)

It’s been a rough week.

This week’s 365 project theme of “dark” isn’t going as well as I’d hoped, due to a whole lot of snow (white) and cloudy nights with no stars.

My friend Susan picks a word to use as a touchstone for the year, and I liked the idea so much I’m giving it a shot for 2015. My word is emergence.

I’m not a morning person. I mean, I love them, I’m just not great at having coherent conversations or making sure the coffee filter is sitting on top of the mug before pouring the boiling water. (I’ve actually done this.) But I’d never been to the Taos Mountain Balloon Rally, and people said it was […]

You asked for it and I delivered, just in time for Christmas, Chanukah, or Solstice shopping. (Not sure if shopping for Winter Solstice gifts is a thing, but let’s go with it.)
