Taking care of trashy business.

Time to figure out how/what to do with my trash. There's no pick up in Santa Fe county, so it's off to the dump, known here as the transfer station. I'm guessing what gets left here might get moved somewhere else to consolidate. Not sure about that

There's a yearly permit required. $75.00. There's no charge for recycleables. So household trash is what you're paying for. It doesn't seem too bad, other than I miss my big green container. I don't think I'd put any trash outside here, too many dogs or other creatures that could get into it. 

 

This is the area where I live.

Exploring. Food.

I think that I've found quite a few of the different grocery store chains here in Santa Fe. A girl has to eat, don't ya know! Let me list them,
Smith's (a Kroger chain)
Albertson's
Natural Grocers
Sprouts (isn't there a new one in G J?)
Whole Foods
Trader Joes was my most recent find yesterday. It's on the other side of town, so it'll only be an occasional visit.
A couple I haven't been to yet:
La Montanita Co-op
Paisano Market
plus there's a spice shop I'd like to visit.

 Before my visit to Trader Joe's,
I had a late breakfast at the Santa Fe Bakery and Cafe.

Santa Fe Bakery
The carne adovaba burrito was huge, filled with yummy chili seasoned chunks of pork. I'll be back here for sure. I was told by another customer that it's the best place in town. It has a huge menu, serving all sorts of things.
Another excellent place I've eaten at is the Blue Corn Cafe. The BEST chili rellanos I've had in a few years.

Are you hungry yet?

Rainbow, out the back door.

After the rainstorm on Tuesday.

Glorious colors.

Another week, time goes by so fast.

Ria's learning to watch out for these nasty spines.

I'm still working on getting settled in. Curtains were hung. The security lights on the main house were triggered by me moving inside my place. Now I don't have to put up with the glare of them. I hung my first load of laundry outside. Not having a dryer reminds me of growing up, all the laundry my mom hung out. 5 kids is a bunch of laundry! 

After a walk.

1st Week Images and notes.

Looking north towards Santa Fe. This is the new walking/running spot for the dogs.
Ria is loving being able to run free.

Looking east.

Gated property, looks interesting. I'll have to find out what's behind these.
