A blast from the past. And a quickie fun Recipe for May from our time in Santa Fe, where we spent many a high desert evening beneath a dome of rosy violet skies, indulging in freshly mashed Guacamole laced with lots of lime and local sweet cherry tomatoes. Not to mention,  rustling up platters of green chile enchiladas and calabasitas.

Tonight I am sipping a lime-laced iced green tea as I write, and contemplating why I love that high desert country, its deep and penetrating miles of skies, and air that sparkles with the hair-raising urge toward flight into unknown territory. New Mexico is a magical place. It will- forever- be in my heart.

So perhaps I'll make this easy guacamole tonight, snug as I am, back in a cozy cottage in the woods of Connecticut... where a different kind of magic awaits, and claims my heart.

Peace and love,
