Alaska to New Mexico

Life in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. We left Homer, Alaska on June 3rd, 2009, traveling in our van loaded down with everything we need to set up housekeeping in New Mexico. We now own a small house here and are loving life in the sun. If you scroll back far enough, you'll find a complete record of our road trip.

More Garden Photos

Another beautiful day. It rained Friday Night and Saturday Morning, so everything is greening up. The bok choy is jumping out of the ground.






















The lettuce sat still for a while but the warmer nights now (in the mid 50s) have given it a boost.





This is an ice plant, a succulant that grows in many of the yards here in T or C. There are also beautiful reds and oranges. They spill out onto the sidewalks all around us here in the historic district. We keep meaning to pinch off a cutting to bring home to add variety to our yellow.












We bought these pinks for practically nothing last year. Walmart had a bazillion plants dying for lack of watering. We rescued these and they flowered all last summer. They came back strong this summer.
