The radiant yellow blooms have turned to tawny tans, and the light of the sun has that distinctive tinge of autumn.

August has been full of wildflowers, rainbows, and the beginning of the school year. At the start of the month, I had a creative few days at Star Garden Gallery making fragrant bundles and wands, weeding the paths, and sharing a brief visit with friends from Boston.

The dazzling days and dramatic skies of July marked a month-full of travel, celebration, and visiting family.

(I snapped this photo of the night sky with my phone— no edits or enhancements… I didn’t think that the sparkling stars would show up from behind the moonlit clouds!)

The monsoon rains came to New Mexico in mid-June, bringing some welcome relief as well as butterflies and blooms!

These blustery days of May have called for a gathering of one’s energy— summoning hope for the summer rains, planning for the garden, and prepping to open the studio/shop.

While the wildfires are not presently in this corner of New Mexico, the potential is great— with extreme dryness and powerful wind storms.
