One of New Mexico's principle charms is that Fall lasts basically forever. September through early November is a long procession of heartbreakingly beautiful days. So we did some pretty good stuff: paid a visit to the
Tinkertown Museum ("New Mexico's Premier Folk Art Environment") on the east side of the Sandias; hiked the Piedra Lisa trail; camped in the 4th of July Canyon in the Manzanos; checked out the Dia de los Muertos Marigold Parade in the south valley . By the way, if you ever make the drive to said campsite please be aware that packs of near-feral dogs may attack your car (while it is moving) at any moment. We know that now.

So beautiful! And you guys look so darn cute, too.
