I was supposed to fly home from New Mexico this morning, but I fell in love with Ghost Ranch and arranged to stay on. I had no idea the place was about to fill up with musicians for its first-ever Bluegrass Camp & Extravaganza. Tonight, the valley swelled with the sounds of plucked strings and singing in harmony. Lucky I like bluegrass! It’s quite friendly, indeed.

Push-pins . . .

Spent half an hour doing laundry, an hour taking pictures of it.

I often dream of ladders, stairs, elevators.

It’s impossible to resist sprinklers in the alfalfa field at sunset.

Two more days!

  • Summer Camp

    ByShae

    We’ve been at camp this week, spending slow hours moving from one Adirondack chair to the next, keeping to the dappled shade, carrying along our novels, cold drinks, bug spray. This slanted old house on a lake in way-upstate New York has been in Stewart’s family for almost sixty years. Almost home from a sunset…
