Road Trips, Flowers and Fun

Happy Thursday!
This has been a much slower paced week - well I am still busy with work and all the normal stuff...but no major projects and no company this week.  #MissThem
 
​But I managed to sneak off for a mini road trip! 

The weather was perfect for this adventure!

This was a short, one day only, road trip. I only drove about hundred-fifty miles, but part of it was slow driving as we navigated to another part of New Mexico. It was great to have the time to explore more of  the area.

For this adventure we visited the Petroglyph National Park just north/west of Albuquerque, New Mexico (USA). You can read about the Petroglyph National Monument here. 
​I have been there once before -but this time we visited a different part of the park.  There is a lot to see and many cool trails to hike. ​

​Most of the petroglyphs were made by American Indians who either lived nearby or were passing through the area. Most of the petroglyphs were made by the Pueblo, Apache, and Navajo people. Later, early Spanish explorers and settlers also made petroglyphs. Some of these drawings are over 700 years old! ​

Currently sorting pictures for a upcoming post.

It was an interesting drive.

And of course, I can't go to ABQ without going to Sprouts :D

It was a great trip...we stopped at Sprouts to stock up on snacks and spent most of the day exploring the park. The weather is perfect right now.

Speaking of spring like weather, did you see my mini post on the (here) fruit trees? They are blooming like crazy! So many pretty pink blossoms everywhere!
 
Here are a few more  pictures of my overachieving trees.

So pretty!

I have been sketching these blooms too. #LoveSpringFlowers

And because it seems like Spring I was just about to pack up the winter clothes and break out the shorts and tanks when the weather turned cool again! #Yeah

Which suits me, since I live in boots!

I'm excited to take the weekend off! I plan on sleeping in, catching up with friends and working on the raised beds. I have no idea the planting season for this part of the world, so thats something else on the list to research. 

I also promise to sort the pictures for the next blog post. I have an adventure coming up soon and need to catch up on all the old posts before they get lost.

See you at the airport-
