Roswell

We drove 45 minutes north of the ranch to check out the quirky town of Roswell.  We had it in mind to maybe do a hike just outside of town but that didn't pan out.  We went to see Star Wars, The Last Jedi, instead, at the Galaxy 8 theater.  And i couldn't resist buying up a Groupon for the international UFO museum.  Before calling it a day, we stopped in MickyDs for shits and giggles, and (what they call) ice cream. It was a fun, outer-spacey day 👽

The day after, we pretty much hung around at home, making a couple loaves of bread in our little house for the first time, and they turned out great- YaY!  and finally did laundry since leaving the farmstead in Kansas (!  it was piling up.  couldn't hold out anymore.).  While we waited for the bread to rise, we went on a bike ride into the middle-er of nowhere, leading us down some overgrown asphalt roads, eventually spitting us out on to a dirt one.  we were looking for the Pecos river, and... Success.  I didn't take many pictures.  Just felt so great to keep peddling on my bike.   It was a really neat ride.  There are some lumpy foothills we got much closer to, and a wide array of desert brush and trees I have never seen before.  i made some art to leave behind in the river.

it was nice staying around home for the day.
