Since we moved to NM and found a home we like, the view out back is rather incongruous. Here we are in the desert, but on the other side of the wall it is green, green, green. And yes, we get golf balls in the yard daily. It’s scary out there.

The homes are adobe, and the skies are big and colorful. The rains are all around us, but seem to skirt us most often. I feel like I can reach out and grab them, but they remain just beyond my fingertips.

This scene looks south towards El Paso and Mexico.
