--"my wonderful friends." This is always the answer. It is a nice place to visit, but my friends Eric and Jo make the place more wonderful.
I was here last winter for a whole month. It was such a relaxing and lovely trip. It made me want to come back here while it is summer. And, the decision was right. Summer here is very very pretty. Silver City is about 6,000 feet so it is not too hot while Phoenix or Tucson is like being cooked. The sunlight is strong, but there is still nice breeze, which makes it enjoyable.
No kidding, these pictures are all from my phone. The weather is absolutely perfect. The blue sky seriously takes my breath away. The clouds are purely white and always seem very close for us to catch! Can't help taking pictures again and again, even though there are tons of pictures in my phone are the quite similar. BUT!! it is never enough. The sunset is so gorgeous! It covers the land from the east to the west with its golden color. Seems like the land was painted to a shiny layer.
We went to the Cliff to have quite authentic Mexican food for brunch today. They were so good! I love those fresh beans, tamales, grilled chilly pepper, rice, and horchata. I didn't finish all my lunch probably because my stomach is being on and off during these traveling days. (had a long time of Chinese buffet, suddenly switched to American food, now Mexican food.) I like Mexican salsa. I think Mexican food is pretty healthy and yummy.
Eric, Jo, and I had coffee at the porch today. It was a a very lovely morning for sure. Their house has been done so much. There are so many cute details in this house. I like the southwest style houses. This little town, it is filled with all kinds of pretty colors. There are many artists here. Jo is one right here. :) I got to see her studio this time. So awesome to see how the arts are formed. It is such a privilege to hear how an artist thinks and how the ideas come from. Two kinds of people in this world make me admire: artist and photographer.
When I was younger, I always loved to draw. I drew a lot until I went to middle school. I don't really think I was creative enough (I am still not.). I could copy something similar, but not from my own mind. Anyway, no more drawing after middle school. Probably I could pick that up after I retired from being a nurse. Who knows. :P I had a couple of dreams when I was younger, as far as I remember. I wanted to be a chef, a barber, an artist, a doctor, and this is it. Although my teacher encouraged us to be a scientist or whatever big...probably I knew I wasn't smart enough for that.. :P
Anyway, this is just a little bit about childhood. OFF the topic again..........as always. :P
OK...back to Silver City.
Silver City is a great place for artists and those who love arts. There are many galleries, unique architecture, AND! good foods! Love a lot of restaurants here. Lots of them have their own themes and characteristics. I love the coffee shops here. They are all different from each other, but one thing that they are in common is--they are all very cute!! I like starbucks, but I like local coffee shops waayyyy more. This town is really a great place to wander around. You can always go into a shop, or window shop, or just literally walk around and enjoy the architectures.
Today we also were home watched Grey's Anatomy. I guess I am addicted to it now. There are TV shows I like: Psych, Heartland, and now Grey's Anatomy. Heartland is a TV show about people and the horses, which makes me love horse now!
It is just sooooo good to see Jo and Eric here. They are always blessings in my life. Thankful to meet them in my life. Really.
Lunch was in Bayard, and the farmer's market was near Cliff, but you were right about the huge, bright blue sky: it goes on forever. :-)
