  • Book brings back old rodeo memories

    Ranching and rodeos (they go together) are in my blood. My Oklahoma-born uncle was a bronco rider and quite a calf roper in his day. Pat Romero’s new book,  “Cowboy Reunions in Las Vegas New Mexico,” is timely and brings back so many memories for me. It has also led to some dreams, ideas about rodeos in Las Vegas.

  • Palabras Pintorescas - Spring: My favorite time of the year

    Springtime automatically brings up thoughts of new life and babies in particular. On this old ranch it is calving time and that is a favorite time for me.

    My father doctor always said, “Put on the catcher’s mitt, but never interfere with Mother Nature unless there is obvious trouble with the birthing process.” How right he was, and he caught lots of babies in his 60 years of his private practice at Valmora.

  • Mora County Notebook - The beauty of the valley

    Mora County goes from high mountains to rolling plains.

    Every season brings scenes of beauty and thrills.

    A sunrise and sunset that show beautiful colorful clouds is seen often. When the snow covers the ground and clings to the trees it brings people out with their cameras to share with friend in photo albums, Facebook and just to share from the modern cameras.

  • Palabras Pintorescas - Enjoying the great outdoors safely

    When scanning the skies, following the resident red tail hawk, I always have to pull out the binoculars and check out Gascon Point. The snow pack will provide some much needed runoff. But there should be deep drifts everywhere and sadly, I don’t see many.  But ... we still have time for a big snow storm or two.

    Speaking of our wilderness, I discovered an old pamphlet put out by the southwest region of our U.S. Forest Service. The 10 “Wilderness use Hints” are timely, even if the publication is aged.
