| Lean-to |
Made a random stop on what looked to be a hiking trail off Old Santa Fe Trail this week and came upon this! Horno ovens and lean-to's in the sunshine.
This was some kind of mud hut, it looked cosy inside. Amazing how our ancestors lived, and many people still dwell in much the same kind of structures today. Close to the earth and a hard way to live.
On this 2 hour walk I also met a woman named Therese, she was looking for a wood pecker in a tree and so I joined her in looking. The woodpecker had left the scene but she and I walked all the way to the other end of the arroyo together chatting away. On the way back I met a fellow named Mike who had two beautiful Australian Shepherds, so I walked all the way back in the other direction to my car with him. He was such a cool guy and his dogs were beautiful. I asked him to keep me in mind if he needed a dog sitter some day :)

Last weekend Shar, Alisa (my new roomie) and I went out to the Cowgirl Saloon to watch my Song School friend Daniel play. Twas a fun night~~ The social life here is a blast.

I think this place has some history - looking forward to checking it out! Somehow the word "Saloon" conjures dusty roads, cowboy boots, painted ponies and wranglers.
I took a two day a week job at a place called Rancho Encantado. It will be a steady known amount of income until the tourist thing picks up at Loretto and the Day Spa (yes I have 3 jobs but two of them are slow this time of year).

| Rancho Encantado I will be supporting people in the Jump Start Program which is The Human Restoration Project in a nutshell! So I am really excited about this. People come for a week to a month for a supervised juice fast, yoga/exercise, lifestyle counseling program to 'Jump Start' a healthier way of living. Pretty cool stuff. |
