Living in this house has been a rich and fulfilling experience. Looking out on our snow-covered courtyard on cozy winter days, enjoying coffee on the back terrace in the cool and quiet of early summer mornings, relaxing on the portal at the end of the day, or just gazing at the majestic mountains and magnificent skies, often emblazoned with a spectacular sunset--all these have been sustaining, unforgettable joys of our life here. Enveloped in a thick adobe blanket with zoned radiant heating system providing a uniform warmth without the dry assault of blowing heat we have always been very comfortable even on the coldest days of a long New Mexico winter. The split bedroom plan has succeeded in providing our guests with plenty of space and privacy. The open design of kitchen, dining, den and living room made an easy entertaining arrangement that has allowed us to enjoy many happy times with family and friends. On a more spiritual level, being custodians, not owners, of the Puebloan mound behind the house has often led us to think of those ancient people, what life was like for them, and the transitory nature of earthly cares. It is a small site, but just walking over it from time to time helps one keep things in perspective!
