Truth or Consequences life

I've been getting up-close and overly personal with the plant life here. Here are some encounters that didn't end in a salad:





Mid-day strolling is best kept to a minimum. I suggest DUCKing into shops along the way.


Here are two RVing women you know. Sue and Geri, left to right.



Sue is spending the summer in Truth or Consequences, which only sounds crazy until you know that she has been creating art as though a wild woman, and has almost more shows booked - locally and remotely - than she can manage. Almost.

Geri and Chuck have home-based in T or C for a long time, and are now getting ready to head to Florida to be near family who could use their support. They have a mess (slew) of plans for new adventures.

Most bloggers are usually behind the camera, not in the shot. Sue fixed that for me. 

I am upstaged by a  bird of paradise. And a plant.


I'm starting to remember what's on Broadway, and what's on Main.

Sue introduces me around whenever she gets a chance. My social calendar is packed full with pity engagements. I'm not proud.


Boris Deutsch - The Indian Bear Dance
WPA art at the downtown post office - The Indian Bear Dance, by Boris Deutsch
Here's an interesting essay about Depression-era art and this Boris Deutsch mural.

I haven't traveled since I got here, but I'm catching up on sitting around. There's plenty for me to do.
