SCRRREEECH! Mr. Pinker slammed on the brakes. “What? What did you see?”
“Didn’t you see that Bighorn Sheep?” I asked.

Mr. Pinker turned his head and whirled Ole Big Red aka the truck around.
“Wow!” he said “How did I miss him?”
“I have no idea “, I replied as I shook my head with a smile . I immediately grabbed the camera and began snapping away.
What a magnificent fella he was. He was also quite happy to have his photo taken as he enjoyed his stroll along the NM 38.
“Where we are we headed to now?” I asked.
” We will just see what we can find, ” he said with a smile. We never make plans. We sorta meander here and there- wherever the wind takes us.
It was not long before we made our way into Taos. Not to explore but to eat at one of my favorite fast food places in New Mexico- Blakes Lotaburger. We do not get to eat out much when we travel so this was a treat.

My burger was loaded with Hatch Chiles. Yum! Yum!
After eating, it was time to leave town. We made our usual stop at the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge.
 |
| At 600 ft above the river, the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge ranks as the 7th highest in the US. |
We walked the long bridge and enjoyed the view of the Rio Grande Gorge.
 |
| The gorge’s depth is about 800 ft. |
Below us we saw a mountain goat resting on a rock.
After taking in the view, we hopped into the truck and headed to our next camp.

| Looks like another rainy day at camp for us. |
By evening time, I pulled out my Around the Garden Blocks. I pieced 4 blocks before I left home .
It is time to applique the green stems and then the flowers will be stitched.
This will be my slow stitching project for the next couple of days. Hopefully, soon flowers will be blooming in the center of the blocks.

I forgot to show you my red blocks from last month. “Around the Garden” is coming along.
I will see ya’ around the campfire.
I hope you do not mind me sharing my travels with you. I will get back to my regular rambles soon. Have I told you lately how much I appreciate you? I sure do! I cannot thank you enough for your sweet visits, kind words and encouragement. You certainly make this ole’ gal feel blessed. Love ya’!
