The Land

Here it is, on a tiny private lane with 4 houses on it, branching from southern Guadalupe Trail. For those outside of New Mexico, this is old valley farming land, rapidly disappearing. There is a 5 acre horse field just north of the property. The land is circled to the east and north by a small walking ditch used by the neighborhood. Three immense and ancient cottonwood trees grow on that ditch. The first time we visited, a Cooper's Hawk flew out from a cottonwood. The next time, the migrating sand hill cranes flew overhead.
