Some shots of my future home.
Seriously though, this is the place we rented for our Spring Break in New Mexico, and it was a dream. Every time we pulled up the drive, every time I walked through the front door, I just had to say “wow.” I instantly gravitated to a book from its library by the founder of Patagonia (Let My People Go Surfing), and I spent most of my free time devouring it in that little green chair looking out on the mountains and valley. It snowed throughout our first evening there, which was almost as beautiful as when the clouds finally cleared, giving way to even more spectacular views. At night, after we had worn ourselves out snowboarding and hiking and shopping, we’d settle down with a glass of wine, or a beer in the jacuzzi, and toasts s’mores in one of the many fire places. We’d turn out the porch lights and find our favorite constellations in the stars. And then we’d sleep, soundly, until the sun rose and filled the house with light. And so would begin another perfect day.
