Around Albuquerque…
It has been the most full summer in awhile. The Middlebury program ended in July, then I participated in the 48 Hour Film Festival in Albuquerque (which was a lot of fun and a huge learning curve when it comes to writing), immediately thereafter I went to California for my mother’s birthday (an impromptu visit!), then a few weeks later she visited us in Albuquerque.
Not to mention July and August are filled with birthdays which happen on the same days in both of our families.
Here are some photos.

Although I have been to Botanical Gardens before, the one in Albuquerque has an entire section dedicated to healing herbs!

I also took my mother to Los Poblanos lavender farm around Albuquerque where we had lavender water and lavender gelato. You can read more about it here and see other photos here.
