    • Staying Home in the Land of Enchantment

      Posted at 2:33 pm by NativeNM, on April 27, 2020

      Who could have predicted that our world would change as we know it in only a matter of weeks.  Do you ever wonder if the world will ever be the same again?  Over the past few weeks I take little for granted and am grateful for the little things that keep me grounded and help me forget all the madness.  While Joe and I are doing well, we recognize that so many families are sacrificing in ways I can’t even imagine.  When our governor announced a “stay at home” order, everything got real for me.  I have to admit I was nervous for days worrying about things I couldn’t control.  Once the shock wore off I picked myself up and decided to find something productive to do.  I got back to blogging but also started taking a diary of photos each day of our favorite meals and some views we spotted from our own backyard.   With Spring’s arrival not only have the birds arrived but also other dessert wildlife making tracks through our yard.  From sunrise to sunset I find beauty in things I took for granted only a few weeks ago.  Life continues on as things look normal outside even though the world around us is not.  May you all find something each day to give you peace and positive thoughts in the days ahead.  We are all in this together!  March 26, 2020, I woke up early to one of the darkest and richest sunrises I have ever witnessed.  The sky was completely covered in clouds of dark blue.  It was simply an amazing sight!

    • A Year In The Life of Z “The Wonder Kitty”

      Posted at 12:13 pm by NativeNM, on May 19, 2016

      Little-Man-Z-57

      Z is a special little man in my life and has the most amazing story to tell.  I call him my Wonder Kitty because of all the obstacles he faced and overcome in the first few month’s of his life.  But let’s start at the beginning.  In the Spring of 2015 I decided that I was ready to to start looking for a kitten.  My Cheli cat was so lonely after her mate Sami passed on a couple years prior.  I was hoping that a kitten would help Cheli and I was ready too.  I’ve had several Siamese over the years and was hoping I would find one at a shelter.  For several weeks I checked the listings with the local shelters to see what kittens were available, it seemed like there were no Siamese kittens to be found.  But then on May 15th I came across a posting for a male 8 week old Seal Point Siamese that had just been brought in for adoption.  I said to Joe “I have to be there when they open”.   I had a feeling that he was the one.  We arrived just as they opened and was escorted back to the kennels where they housed the cats and kittens.  As soon as I saw this little guy my heart just melted.  He was so tiny and sweet and innocent.  I picked him up and he hissed at me in his tiny little voice.  He was a bit scared but once I put him up to my shoulder and cuddled him he started to purr.  We asked about adopting him and was told we would have to wait 3 days because he was brought in as a stray kitty.  He would need to be checked out and given time for someone to claim him.  It will always be a mystery of how he ended up alone and separated from his mother.  And I will always wonder how long he was stranded before he was found and brought to the shelter.  I try not to think about it because I fell in love with this little guy and promised to give him a good life.  On May 19, 2015 I brought my Little Man Z home.
