That Day A Year Ago When I Drove to Madrid, NM

One year ago today I sent the girls off to school, took Ellie on a quick walk, and headed for the open road on the other side of the Sandias down the Turquoise Trail to Madrid, NM. It's probably just as well that I didn't get there until just before we moved, because if I had gone in, say, September, it would have been a struggle not to go back every week. New Mexico is so very tan, except for the parts where it isn't. (And yes, I had a giant slice of blueberry pie)
