“Time slows down amid donkeys” writes Merrifield. “ … It's hard to forget their innocent gaze. It's a calm that instills calm.” Thank you for the recommendation. We are in the amidst of negotiating an offer on our house and could benefit from some calming wisdom.

Tregelly’s Fiber Farm is a wonderful place to visit. It sits up on high hill in western MA overlooking a broad expanse of other hilltops. Talk about green! Tibetan prayer flags blowing in the breeze.

Yaks, camels, donkeys, goats, … Fodder for planning a hands-on educational program connecting kids with animals and the rich cultures they represent.

charlottesville - that's a lovely area. there is a retreat center north of there where I have gone for buddhist meditation programs. beautiful enough to be distracting. do you ever miss the "green"?

yes, donkeys. we are complete neophytes but are definitely intrigued. So I have been reading The Definitive Donkey and Making Burros Fly: Cleveland Amory .... we visited with this handsome fellow at a fiber farm on a recent visit to Massachusetts.

I think he is a french Poitou - big fellow with large shaggy head. he won our hearts immediately so I can't even imagine how much you must miss your animals.

"hours at the library" - another common activity. I love our local libraries in both my town and two others. Lately Interlibrary loan has been a great source of materials on alternative building and all things southwest. another favorite 'library": Barnes and Nobles! a large stack of magazines, a cup of coffee and the whole afternoon disappears!

Re: Virginia. We live down by Williamsburg - on the water with lots of trees and green grass. Pretty much the opposite of NM. Do you still have family here? ~ Zoe
ps. the fries at annapurna really are wonderful!

Thanks so much for recommending Los Poblanos. It looks so beautiful!

At 8:40am on June 26th, 2008, Albuquerque Commentator said…: I have no problem giving you the information on the doctor, I just thought it more appropriate to send you a private message rather than post the Doctor's information publicly. I think you would have to add me as a friend in order to do that here. You can always delete me after the fact. If you have health insurance of any sort it will probably be covered.

At 11:33am on June 10th, 2008, Barelas Babe said…: So 7:30 meet where? In front of the zoo by the metal sculptures? I have an antique racing blue Trek touring bike - will be wearing maching bike helmet. Looking forward...

At 12:34pm on June 9th, 2008, Barelas Babe said…: hi - Barelas Community center is on 8th just south of Iron - across the street from the zoo.

Hi! Not too long ago I wrote a blog about Church of Beethoven - it is FABULOUS, but now is becoming very popular. If you go, be sure to get there at least a half hour before it starts, and bring a jacket or scarf of something to drape over your seat to save it first, and then get your coffee or tea. :)

Maybe we could think about meeting at 7 or 7:30 ish tomorrow? Cruise around for an hour or so?

At 10:36am on June 9th, 2008, Barelas Babe said…: Great - Tonight is not good since I must take daughter to guitar lesson... But tomorrow evening? I'm near the Barelas Community Center/Zoo. I'm not a spandex racer biker - just like to cruise and check out the 'hood...
Thanks for the kind words re: my blog. I like NM summers so much better than DC. Today there's a heat advisory - hot and humid - blech!
