Mixed weather in Santa Fe

It can't decide whether it wants to rain or shine in the high desert this afternoon, so it has done some of both.
The pic-of-the-day was taken around 5 p.m. You can see there are dark skies and blue skies and wet streets.

Former co-worker, current friend, and sometimes client Kelli was in town yesterday to scout places for an upcoming meeting she is coordinating. We met in the bar about 5 p.m. at the Four Seasons where she was staying. After a refreshing cocktail and lots of catching up we went a little further out of town to Gabriel's for dinner. Good view and Mexican food, with even better margaritas. Then it was back to the Four Seasons for a nightcap. We sat out by the fire pit and enjoyed the starry, starry skies. Since it was such a special occasion, I broke my longstanding policy to only drink Baileys Irish Cream in December. Last night the Baileys was shaken (not stirred) over ice and then poured into a cold martini glass. Nectar of the gods! So yummy.

Today I'm creating nothing. Yesterday I packed up my sewing and tins so I took the day off from creating. I read about a shoe sale at one of my favorite stores so I went to check it out. I left empty handed. Next I walked to the other end of Sanbusca Market to a clothing store I like. I found two jackets there, both on sale, that I couldn't resist. They'll be perfect for the cooler months in Houston.
