Spring metamorphosis

Do I have a second career as a barber ahead of me???



Oh, what a week?!?!?

My low-stress, relaxed life had a little hiccup this week....

We've been looking at homes in Albuquerque for a few months and found a lovely one in a great neighborhood on Monday. I put an offer in first thing Tuesday morning, delighted at the prospect of having us live there for the next few years..... A long story short; although the house only came on the market Sunday, multiple offers came in and after waiting patiently, I heard on Thursday night they choose another buyer..... Who says this is a buyer's market?!?!? ;-)

No time to obsess about all this though as on Friday morning I found out somebody hijacked my email account and sent an email to all my contacts stating that I was in the UK and got mugged at gunpoint, asking for $2000 to be wired directly asap to get me back home. I could not get into my account to notify friends and family so in between treating patients, I spent lots of time on facebook messages, phone calls and text messages re-assuring people I was still living happily in sunny Santa Fe. My English must have been just a little better than the awful grammar and grade-school-like spelling of the scammers and my friends, although caring, recognize fraud when they see it, so no money to sent.

PPPFFF..... I hope this week will be mellow and easy.....

Afternoon/evening stroll

We took advantage of the longer days and walked through town, running some errands by foot, camera in tow... You just never know what picture-worthy scenes you might run into...






Monday morning...

Random pictures from around the house this morning...

I am very confused....

Is it spring, winter or summer???????

One day I'm riding my bike to work in the bright gorgeous sunshine, the next day I have to get up 20 minutes earlier to make it to work on time on the icy and snowy roads....
One day I'm going shopping in a just a long sleeved t-shirt, the next day we're clearing 3 inches of snow of the car after a 2.5 hour hike...
Yesterday I saw people all over town in shorts and flip flops, tonight we're expecting 5 to 8 inches of snow...

I guess we still have one foot in the deep snow of winter, reaching with the other one to the summer clothes temperatures...
