Have I mentioned that Andrew is interning at KTAOS, our solar radio station?  Well, he is!  One of his jobs is to assist this guy, Alphonso, who does a reggae show.  Alphonso is from Kingston, but now lives in Pecos, NM, a little village outside of Santa Fe.  So, yesterday, the three of us went down there so that Andrew could work with Alphonse and

sounds like an awesome day. mostly i needed to say, i remember judy chicago! i saw her show 'the dinner party' back when i was in college. it's cool to know that she's still out there shaking things up with her amazing art. thanks for letting me know that! <3

The Dinner Party was a pretty amazing, piece. Another cool think at the exhibit was this photograph of herself (naked and middle-aged) that includes the saying, "As the Talmud says, For the unlearned, old age is winter, for the learned, it is the season of the harvest."

Great photos in this post and the other one! Looks like you guys had a lot of fun at the farmers market and walking around the art museum! =)

Thanks! It really is fun to just shop at farmers markets. I mean, running a stand is a blast, but it is also a lot of work.

And free art museum admission is a wonderful thing. I love going to museums, but when you pay, there is sometimes this pressure to see everything, etc. When it's free you can just see what you want to!

Sounds like you guys had a great day. Cute picture of you two, too :)

I love the picture of the courtyard with the drying peppers. When we go to Sedona I see those drying outside. I'd love to bring one home, but have no idea what I'd do with all those peppers, lol.

Thanks!

Those chile things are called ristras, and, yeah, they are really pretty. Originally, they were just a way to dry red chiles for later consumption, but now they are decorative, too. You can still buy ones you can eat, though.

Sedona is really pretty, too. We were laughing because Sedona Pride is partnered with Taos Pride, and people call it "Woo Pride" (as in New Agey shite.)
