abba decided the doctor ordered some oxygenated air, green scenery, and a cool mountain side. so we left town yesterday in search for just that. what better place than the sangre de cristos just outside of santa fe, new mexico.
we hiked in on the windsor 254 trail for a good almost 2 hours, headed towards nambe lake. we stopped at a decent sized boulder in the middle of an aspen-pine forest and climbed up to have our picnic feast. abba had brought some delicious leftovers of rice, jalapeno, celery, onions seasoned with curry, black pepper, paprika, almond butter, and cinnamon! YUM!
after eating abba busted out the guitar and we had a raging rock concert in the woods! The trees began clapping their hands in applause.... I think my dad must have put some mescaline in my food. No but, he did began to strum the most lovely melody (which among the aspens' shimmering leaves and the sunlight streams, the cool breeze, and occasional chirping birds was the most beautiful sound one can imagine).
then as if he had serenaded the heavens, it started to sprinkle in the forest. and continued to thunder as we headed out, which was majestic so long as it didn't decide to dump buckets on our heads. (well dad woulda loved that too!).
He he... Sounds wonderful!!!
