I just won a round of rock, paper, scissors with Caitlin, which means that she has to go outside and help mom pick everything up from last night's dinner and I get to stay in the relaxed, air-conditioned RV. I thought that made up enough content for a post in the family blog, but since there's more to write about, I'll bore you with details.
There are, first of all, mountains in New Mexico. They're covered in brush and bramble, they're red and brown and dusty and a lot of them, instead of peaking, reach a point of sheer rock cliffs that ascend into plateaus. I won't lie; I want to abandon camp, abandon civilization, and head out across the desert to climb one of these mountains. I would make it to the top of one of those plateaus and look out over the barren landscape. I am a desert girl. The barren landscape is one of the most beautiful in the world once you realize how well life actually DOES thrive amidst the rocks and the cacti - hell, the cacti are clearly an example in themselves.
I still have no pictures. Whatever happened to uploading pictures everyday? Clearly this family does nothing as planned.
Today we're heading out, supposedly, to actually DO stuff. Like stomp around in the dirt and visit wolves who were bred in captivity, abused, and then rescued. I do quite adore wolves so I think that's what stuck out the most in my mind about what we're doing today. I'm going to end this entry now, reminding you how much I love mountains and how much driving amongst them makes me feel free and connected to the land. Indeed.
Out yall.
