Navigating Monsoon Season in the New Mexico Desert
Living in the New Mexico desert has its unique challenges, especially during monsoon season. Today was a prime example as we had to head out for water, showers, and a few groceries, all while trying to beat the next wave of storms.
The muddy roads made the trip especially slow, but we knew waiting for more rain would make them even worse. As we made our way back home, we saw a cluster of police lights. Approaching the scene, we discovered a pickup had rolled into a ditch. Our hearts sank when we realized it was someone we knew, a member of our community. Fortunately, he wasn’t hurt, and we were able to give him a ride home.
This experience was a stark reminder of the difficulties we face living here, but also of the strong community spirit that helps us get through these challenges together.

Waiting out Wind Storm
Sorry we haven’t posted in a few days. Last few days the only thing we’ve been doing has been sitting out the winds. “Fun” part of living on the desert is the winds, especially when you’re on a Mesa. When you go outside your eyes, mouth, get full of sand. Mask helps a little but not much.
Today was better, tomorrow we have another private event, which means getting things setup and cleaned up, tumble weeds are a never ending battle.
