Yesterday I went to Tinkertown with lovely Lin and we had a grand time. Longer post on that when I am home and can upload my Canon Rebel photos. I was buzzed by some hummingbirds and I didn't mind it.
After Tinkertown, I drove myself up National Scenic Byway NM Hwy 14, which certainly merited the description. I had to pull over several times to snap photos. What a gorgeous place. And it rained yesterday morning, so the sage, cedar and piñon all were releasing their oils into the air and it smells so amazing. I told LabRat and Stingray that it smells like God's own urinal cake. So pine-fresh. I want to live here, y'all.
There's just one wee bit of unpleasantness: after a delectable dinner I was feeling fine and all, when suddenly my left eye made me to know it needed to shut. I Suddenly felt enervated and had to make my apologies and head to bed disappointingly early. I think it's very mild, but this does seem to be some degree of altitude sickness. I awoke in the night with a teeny headache and bizarrely felt hot and cold at the same time. At that point, I did what any sane woman would do and painted my nails, after which I was feeling perfectly normal. I then went back to sleep and slept like a little lamb, and awakened refreshed. Looks like today will be another beautiful one! More to follow.

We wanna know - did you paint your nails with one eye still shut?
'God's own urinal cake' - simultaneously tasteless and priceless! Kudos! gfa
Achingly beautiful weather here in the Land of Enchantment. Like 70 degrees and clear-- perfect.
You hit us at (arguably) the BEST time o' year, Phlegmmy. It's even beauteous on The High Plains o' NM... perfect weather for moving. ;-)
Sorry about yer eye... hope it's nothing serious.
Enjoy the trip!
You made me home sick. :-(
