We are growing a lot of different basil this year, genovese lettuce leaf, cinnamon, Thai and holy. I’m excited to make tinctures with holy basil, but I think it stinks. It doesn’t smell pleasant to me. Is it just me or does it have a funky smell?

@DominoRxxx See it's been a few days and I just read your message. I had a flip phone before recently getting an iPhone. If you ever want to do a book reading here at the library in Dona Ana County, I'll clear out the space for you.

Either a hipster saves this, or a data center goes in. You have to choose one

Spread some wildflower seed in my back yard yesterday. The wind was so strong that some blew into my eyeball. I had to dump an entire water bottle on my face before I drove into town. Yes I'm 90 years old and still drive

Someone commented on my Facebook post announcing my candidacy for Dona Ana County Commissioner saying I was a con artist due to my association with a local businessman named Gregg 43 years ago, but he was mistaken. I was only an operator for 2 years, not a full business partner

@TyMcDuffey I came here from Billings after my Navy Days on the ship in Newfoundland and knew it was my home. That was more than 50 years ago and I still love this place. It always shocks me when people from lush green forested areas like our desert so much

It's spring 2023 and I am leaving my life as a journalist in rural Montana behind, heading south for a new start in Dona Ana County. I have never stepped foot in New Mexico and have seen the Organ Mountains only through Google Images. I spark up a joint as I drive with all the windows down, the fresh green prairie grass and sagebrush quietly hissing through the Crow Reservation. I spent a lot of the drive figuring out who I wanted to be going forward. Southern New Mexico was a new opportunity for me to have a better life. We made it to our stop in Trinidad, Colorado, after a long drive through Wyoming and Montana. The mountains were incredible, and our Airbnb sat on top of a hill on an original brick road overlooking the town. The house was overrun with little white moths due to their yearly migration. We walked the dogs and ate pizza and salads. We woke up at 5 AM and showered in the dark. Time to hit the road. We drove all through the morning, arriving in New Mexico before we knew it. The northern part of the state is incredibly beautiful. It’s empty and spacious and mountainous and full of life. I fell in love with it. We stopped at a little town called Vaughn for gas and food, one of the only stops in that rural part of the state. We drove through the @CarsonNF flanked by mountains to the left. The plains rolled along. We pulled up to our house in Las Cruces after driving through White Sands National Park and the missile testing range. The weather started to change rapidly. It was hot, but I survived an afternoon of emptying out the U-Haul and unpacking in the sun. I had a tan line after just one day. The air smelled dry and sweet and warm. Our house was beautiful. It was big and spacious. The dogs had a nice backyard. I meditated out there as the sun rose over me. The nights and mornings in the Chihuahuan Desert are spectacular.

Interesting that Dona Aña was in the green. Southern New Mexico is the future.

I’ve got a couple of these potato hoops going. It’s just some old chicken wire made into a circle. Then I added aged manure (chicken and horse) and layered potatoes. They’re starting to peek through now.

When it comes time to vote, dont forget what party and what Governor taxed our children to use our land. @GovGianforte is grooming our kids to accept more taxes for things we already own. The part of #moretaxes
