Located about halfway between Silver City and Deming, City of Rocks is an unusual campground & RV Park. Picture the Flintstones taking the Jetsons camping on Mars and you will grasp the vibe. A photo of your RV or tent shadowed by enormous rock towers is a testament to high desert hide-aways.

It’s been a long holiday weekend here and it has been much needed. A chance to slow down. I’ve done some deep cleaning pockets. We’ve rearranged some things to make the house flow better, and tomorrow I have an impromptu day off, which was meant to be a solo day, but sister is on the mend after a bug this weekend and I’m cashing in on the close to preschool and no count school days and keeping g her with me.
I was going through the math today and I’ll be 43 in September… I’m closer to 45 than 40 now, and I don’t feel it? Yeah there’s stress and my weight has pendulmed to the ‘higher’ range at the moment with a struggle to get a routine of late - dad, sick kids, work dramedy, limited reliable kiddo care options - I’m feeing strong though, and my yoga game is hitting hard. It’s been a beautiful blooming of breaking through some previous limitations as far as hip opening and a shoulder impingement. So I guess that’s called a non scale victory? And for lack of a better term, I just am feeling good. I’ve fully embraced the natural hair movement - if there is one - and even though my grandmother would roll over in her grave, I haven’t dyed my hair in 3 years (I think?)… I am digging the silver strands coming through. It’s ultimately a feeling of peace and resonance right now.
The weather is changing here and looks that spring has sprung. My first daffodils poked through this week and how funny because we had a foot of snow and iced roads a month ago, now everything is budding. I’m anxious to see if my mums we transplanted lasted the winter made it 🤞
We are looking for a platform/slide bed for our 5 year old to convince her she DOES want to sleep in her bed and not wedge in between mommy and daddy every night between 11p-2a. I think that will be her Easter present. We also have some treehouse modifications and climbing assists for the front yard for J man I think he will enjoy with the warm weather.
We would like to plan a camping trip for April when we will both be off and the kids have a long weekend. We take 2 weeks for our anniversary every year and the timing lines up. The prob comes with our dogs and who can watch them. We are leaning towards asking dad to come down, and I think it would be a fun thing for him to do maybe? His treatment is going well as far as it can, is it insensitive to ask him? C’s mom said the dogs are too much for FIL, so, is it the same with my dad or would it be fun company for him? I don’t know.

1// J’s gorg locks
2// my first attempt at homemade apple cider vinegar
3// c and my girl
4// the kids ‘cooked dinner’ for valentines 😍😍😍
I also felt super homesteady this week; I made my homemade cleaner out of orange rinds and apple cider vinegar. I save all the peels then soak in vinegar for 1-2 weeks, then strain and add some water and tea tree oil - it’s AMAZING. Then you take the used rinds and put them in your garden to prevent pests. The picture is apple peels/cores that you soak for 1-2 weeks in cloth covered jar, then strain to make your own apple cider vinegar. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Every little bit helps. Everything you do good, is something good xx

I despise my new camera (a Sony RX10 IV) - having worked my arse off and saved like crazy to buy it - and just as I was about to get rid of it I go and get shots like this at full zoom (& cropped)!

Good times with my wife along the Antrim coast of Northern Ireland.
We spent a few weeks in her homeland late last year and had a chance to explore all over the country. If you ever get the chance to visit, do so and treat yourself. You won't regret it.
Let's go exploring, international edition.

El Morro National Monument is #NewMexico's smallest. The oasis hidden at the base of a sandstone bluff made it a popular campsite for hundreds of years. Here, ancestral Puebloans, Spanish, and American travelers carved over 2,000 signatures, dates, messages, and petroglyphs.

We had the rescheduled second gen cousin present swap Saturday evening, it was fab. Some family came in from Texas, there was ridiculousness amongst the kids all hopped up on sugar and being buckwild - an unmitigated success 🤘
My mom’s dog passed, it was sad, and emotional. Bonding though? My bro came up and we made it down, and we took care of the burial in 20 degree weather, got dad stocked up with food, et al. It was peaceful, a passing of the guard.
We made it home before the forecasted snow, and we’ve had 6-8 inches here in Nashville. While I know that is chump change for many of you, it’s been brilliant here. It’s less than 10 here right now and slated to be below freezing at night with high less than 20 until Thursday. Schools are closed. I had taken off for a transferred MLK holiday. We are holed up.
Took the kids out last night when we had a dusting. We swang in the swing-set. Looked over the river. Played with the dogs. Looked up at the sliver moon. Immersed.
We stayed up way late, slept in this morning. It snowed all night and until 3-4 pm today. We went out this morning in the yard and made snow angels. Jumped on the trampoline.
This afternoon we went back out and a quarter mile from our house is a playground and hill attached to a local church. All the neighborhood kids were sledding and it was Such a fun gem. Almost like this hidden, golden, perfect moment. All day was like that.
Tonight we went back out. All the sane parents were home and snuggled up watching movies. Us? We loaded up those kids and went back to the hill. We sled and rolled down the hill for almost 2 hours - it was completely deserted and ours for the taking.
We’ve plenty of groceries for yummy meals. Coffee. Heat. Heart. It’s been a few days of core memories if that rings true to anyone? This, today, with our kids, was all about reliving and making sure we brought them this unfettered joy. Of a snow day.
We’ve connected and unplugged and it has been perfection. Absolute perfection.
