March 2024 in review

My monthly series

Santa Fe River

This is the seventeenth post in my Month in review series.

This month I stayed in New Mexico. There was Riya’s birthday, a day in Albuquerque for the Curiosities and Oddities Expo, and a day trip to Taos Plaza.

I remember Spring is very vibrant and alive in New Mexico. Apricot trees are in full bloom. We bought two rose plants for the garden.

The theme of the month is: bees.
