Update about blogCa

The Art in Bloom show at the Black Mountain Center for the Arts is delightful...wonderful displays of flowers based upon the inspirations from pieces of art. There were also garden tours Saturday and Sunday throughout town in our neighbor's yards. See my other artsy blog at https://blackmtnbarb.blogspot.com/ for more of the flowers and art in the gallery.

Earth Ships near Taos NM

OUR B & B WAS AN EARTH SHIP!



Zora is my grandpup


The cord coming down from the ceiling leads to a vent which can be opened or closed.


Nice small functional bath...

King size bed for the bedroom.  All the windows face south for passive solar heating, and there are small gardens right below them, watered with grey water (sink).

Another vent in ceiling for passive temperature control.


Son and daughter-in-law fixed something to take along on our drive down to Santa Fe.

Shades are available to control the amount of sunlight coming in the windows.





There's a lot of desert out there! Many strange living arrangements are all around.



We'll visit the Earth Ship central headquarters Sun. morning.

    That is such an interesting place. Love the solar collecting (passive and active). Very inspiring.

    Looks like a harsh environment to live in. People seem creative though using solar panels for all the sun they get.
