Miles, Liam and Kat arrived earlier this week, and fell into our schedule of a combination of working remotely and visiting local favorite outdoor spots. First favorite outdoor spot, especially on a 60 degree and sunny afternoon, the patio! Another favorite spot, Boston Hill. Nana ordered cookies for us from…

To start off with a few celebrations, and to put some people in here before we go back to empty vistas and rocks, back in November we had a lovely zoom Thanksgiving! We were able to find a time that worked for Nana and Grandpa in Kansas City, Liam and…

After our first few trips to the Gila National Forest, we feared that our blog would be full of endless vistas of empty landscapes framed by desert mountains! But never fear! On our last few trips we discovered a whole new side of Gila National Forest, lots of narrow canyons…

So far, we’ve been rotating between these 3 activities during our free time: walks around the Silver City downtown and residential area, exploring the Boston Hill Open Space walking and biking, and hikes outside of town (Gomez Peak and Gila National Forest).

We are in New Mexico! But first, and I guess also on the subject of people relocating, Miles had some nice news this week, he was called out in some yelp reviews for the moving company he works for. Good job, Miles! Back to our trip, here’s a map of…

At first I thought I must be jumping ahead a bit to be calling this mid-November, but wow, it’s here already. Thought I’d share a few things that have been spotted around here since late October. The fall color continues to impress! In the last two weeks we’ve pretty much…

Since so much of our entertainment this year is walking around outdoors, we’ve had the chance to see a lot of the fall season. It’s actually one of those silver linings – some years fall can go by really quickly, without near enough close watching of the seasons changing. Here…

We don’t have a lot of political signs around us like some areas in the US do, but that doesn’t mean the upcoming election isn’t on people’s minds! Also, jumping a bit out of order here but to cut to the chase, we voted this morning! Last weekend we rode…
